Our programs follow the exercises and principles created by Joseph Pilates. We teach a classical, systematic approach to Pilates exercise. Each session incorporates various apparatus such as mat, reformer, Cadillac barrels, chairs, magic circle and pedi-pole with the focus on STRENGTH, STAMINA, STABILITY, & STRETCH.
All programs are based on the principle that you must first strengthen and stabilize the core. All the work starts from and is sustained through the CENTER. Joseph Pilates called the CENTER your "POWERHOUSE".
Pilates taught in this style is a powerful whole body workout! Posture will improve & energy levels will dramatically improve as well. The results will leave you physically and mentally connected, balanced, and renewed.
Programs Available: Privates, Duets, Semi-Privates, Reformer Circuit Classes, Tower Classes, Xtend™ Classes, Mat Classes, Beginner Equipment Workshops, Pilates for Men and Beginner to Advanced Levels.
