Pilates, (Puh-LAH-teez) was developed by Joseph H. Pilates and was originally called “contrology”. Joseph H. Pilates was an ill child but became an avid exercise enthusiast studying different methods of exercise. The exercises encompass over 500 controlled, precise movements performed on the floor or on specifically designed apparatuses to lengthen, strengthen, and stretch muscles without adding bulk. The Pilates method of exercise focuses on breathing, concentration, core engagement, postural alignment, flexibility, and strength. It is a method of exercise suitable to most everyone.

What are the benefits of Pilates?
- Core Strength- Having a stronger core has the ability to decrease, if not eliminate low back pain. A stronger core will enhance your strength during your sport and with everyday tasks.
- Enhanced Stability- This is the foundation of all movement. You must have a stable foundation to build a house which is true for your body. Without a stable foundation, your body will break down from improper movements and overuse of different muscles.
- Improved Posture- With the continued use of technology, our posture is deteriorating. Improving your posture can help decrease neck pain, shoulder pain, back pain, and give you a whole new look.
- Enhanced Flexibility- Do you struggle to touch your toes? Do you sit for hours on end at your desk, in a car, traveling, or sitting on the couch? If yes, then your flexibility is suffering. Improved flexibility is another key to a happier, healthier body.
- Improved well-being- Do you simply want to feel better? This is a statement we hear daily- “I feel so much better after a session”.
“In 10 sessions you will Feel A Difference, in 20 Sessions you will See A Difference, and in 30 sessions, you will have a whole new body.” Joseph Pilates
