Your CORE Journey Starts Here You might first ask – what is Pilates? Pilates (pronounced /pi’la:ti:z/) is an ideal form of intelligent exercise offering complete body conditioning that focuses on strengthening the deep support/core muscles and balancing all muscle groups around the joints of the entire body.
It is an integral key to proper rehabilitation and prevention of injuries. Progression of the exercises promotes and challenges strength, endurance, flexibility and coordination. The benefits are endless… longer & leaner muscle, better posture, reduces stress…and many more.
Pilates is GENDER NEUTRAL Everyone benefits from Pilates. It should be combined with your riding, weight training, running, biking, tennis, ice-skating, triathlons or whatever activity in which you participate.
A stronger core helps all of us – from teenagers needing to improve body awareness – to pro athletes wanting to increase performance and for those who suffer from chronic back/joint pain. Added balance and control give you a competitive edge!
Joseph Pilates was a boxer/gymnast. Men LOVE the challenge of Pilates!
There is NO AGE LIMITATION
Joseph Pilates created “The Pilates Principles” to condition one’s body through:
- Breathing
- Pelvic placement
- Rib cage placement
- Scapular movement
- Head & cervical spine placement
Believing that mental and physical health are integral to each other, Joseph Pilates developed his system of exercise to rehabilitate injured WWI soldiers by strengthening, stabilizing and stretching key muscles with emphasis on control and form.
