Pilates Movement Studio

Pilates is a system of body conditioning aimed at strengthening the core muscles of the body in order to better support daily activity. It emphasizes elongation of perpetually tight muscle groups while giving tone and strength to weak areas of the body. Pilates is executed by uniting body and mind. It involves willfully teaching the body new movement patterns which encourage more functional and efficient movement.  Pilates increases flexibility, balance, and leads to  a more streamlined appearance. Joseph H. Pilates, creator of the Pilates method, borrowed and adapted movement principles from eastern and western disciplines in an effort to overcome his own childhood illness and later to assist in rehabilitating injured prisoners of war during World War One.

Many dancers and performers have used Pilates for decades. In recent years it has been discovered by athletes, models, and actors, who have publicly credited Pilates conditioning with helping them to achieve and maintain top form.
