The 6 Principles of Pilates

Control: Adjust movements to a range of movement that is manageable for our body in a given moment.
Flow: Strive to move from one movement to the next as seamlessly as possible.
Breath: Breathe throughout each movement, inhaling and exhaling when cued by your instructor until you know it by heart.
Precision: Perform every movement and breath as accurately as possible.
Concentration: Mentally invest in every movement we make during class.
FAQ
What is Pilates?
Pilates is a non-impact, non-aerobic, deep muscle conditioning method that tones and strengthens the whole body, with special emphasis on the powerhouse (the abdominal, gluteal, inner thigh, and back muscles).
What are the benefits of Pilates?
Pilates improves flexibility and posture while strengthening the muscles deep in the torso and around the spine to help prevent injuries and alleviate chronic pain. It can help sculpt long, lean muscles from head to toe, improve coordination, correct body imbalances, and prevent osteoporosis. Pilates is a great form of exercise for preventative care.
​
Who can benefit from Pilates?
Everyone needs to stretch as well as strengthen their muscles and develop a strong core. The Pilates method can be modified to range from gentle to challenging, depending on your fitness level and goals. People with poor back posture and back problems are often ideal candidates for Pilates and it's often used in physical therapy facilities to help rehabilitate and prevent injuries.
