The Pilates Body

• Would you like to walk taller?
• Dance like you were nineteen?
• Hit a golf ball farther?
• Or maybe just rid yourself of that nagging back pain?

Tone your body with an exercise practice that leaves you refreshed, not exhausted. Stretch and lengthen your muscles. The practice of Pilates helps you reclaim your body's core strength and flexibility and improve your performance in any physical arena.

Pilates is a coordinated system of exercises focused on developing strength and stability, particularly in the core muscles of the abdomen and the back. Through a combination of deep abdominal breathing and fluid movements of the arms, legs and torso against the resistance of various pieces of equipment, Pilates builds strength and flexibility without increasing bulk.

More than just an exercise regimen, Pilates also forges a deep satisfying connection between mind and body. Its focus on controlled breathing and engaging specific muscle groups in a conscious way heightens your physical awareness and increases your sense of proper postural alignment.

Pilates originated in the early twentieth century, but today many professional athletes and celebrities practice it and many dancers swear by it. Chronic back pain sufferers love the relief and clients are amazed at the positive changes it makes to their bodies.
