Designed to condition the entire body, Pilates promotes balanced musculature, flexibility, and agility.
Why Choose Pilates?
By combining stretching and strengthening, Pilates increases flexibility in the most effective way possible. Because the technique emphasizes fluid movements rather than short contractions, muscles become defined but not overdeveloped. Control, precision, and proper alignment are more important than the amount of resistance used or the number of repetitions. By emphasizing proper breathing techniques, movements are executed with maximum power and efficiency. Non-impact, low resistance, and gentle on the joints, Pilates helps you both avoid injury and rehabilitate from current injuries.Joseph Pilates developed his exercise system to “attain and maintain a uniformly developed body and a sound mind.” Pilates is a holistic fitness program that integrates the following practices:
- Mental concentration
- Breathing
- Controlled and precise movement
- Balanced muscle development
- Centering
- Alignment
- Fluid movement
