THE CLASSICAL PILATES METHOD
Originally named ‘Contrology’, Pilates was developed by Joseph Pilates and is a comprehensive movement system focused on core strength, posture alignment, and overall body conditioning. Pilates is a method that incorporates mind, body, and spirit. It includes over 500 exercises, originating from 34 mat exercises, and uses various apparatus like; the Reformer, Cadillac, Wunda Chair, High Chair, and Barrels to enhance learning and adaptation.
Our daily activity, stress, gravity and bad habits change the way the body aligns and manages itself. Pilates exercises incorporate strength, flexibility, and mental focus that work to achieve balance to the body and undo these shortcomings. Pilates is suitable for all ages and fitness levels and will increase athletic performance and aid in injury rehabilitation.
“In 10 sessions you feel the difference, in 20 sessions you see the different,
and in 30 sessions you will have a new body.” Joseph Pilates
How many times a week should I come?
Like many fitness programs, it is recommended that you do Pilates 3 times a week to get the best results. However, as long as you are consistent in your practice, you will see results if you practice once a week.
Should I start with the Pilates Mat classes or Apparatus?
We recommend starting with a private session to start your Pilates journey. During a private session, you will work one-on-one with a certified instructor and will work on the mat and apparatus. After you have completed your private session we can provide you with recommendations to continue your practice, whether with additional private sessions or small group classes.
