Imagine an exercise program that you look forward to, that engages you,
and that leaves you refreshed and alert with a feeling of physical and
mental well-being. The
Pilates Method (pronounced pul-LAH-teez) of body conditioning will do
all this...and more.
Developed in the 1920s by the legendary Joseph H. Pilates, the Pilates
Method is an exercise system focused on improving flexibility and
strength for the total body without building bulk. After a month of
Pilates, people have tighter stomachs, firmer arms and legs, better
posture, and feel healthier and stronger—not wiped out.


“You will feel better in
10 sessions, look better in 20 sessions,
and have a completely new body in 30 sessions,”
Joseph Pilates
Pilates is effective, requires little time, and
delivers results. Our Pilates classes are group or private, mat and/or
equipment, from beginner Level 1 to Advanced. Complete course
descriptions follow:
Mat Level 1(Introduction to Pilates
Mat)
Introduces the five basic principles of Pilates to help enhance
awareness of your breathing and postural alignment. You will learn the
initial Essential Mat repertoire, which is taught in layer one.
Modifications are given if needed to promote safety, success and to
prevent injuries from occurring.
Mat Level 2
The five basic principles are incorporated in the full
essential mat repertoire. The Essential Mat Repertoire is taught in
layers so that awareness of the mind and body is fully engaged and
increased strength, flexibility, stamina, proper breathing, endurance,
balance and neuromuscular coordination are attained. Students build on
the full Essential Mat so that layer one Intermediate Repertoire is
added.
Mat Intermediate
