Pilates is a system of over 500 controlled exercises that engage the mind and condition the total body. It is a balanced blend of strength and flexibility training that improves posture, reduces stress and creates long, lean muscles without bulking up. Pilates works several muscle groups simultaneously through smooth, contin uous motion, with a particular concentration on strengthening and stabilizing the core (the abdomen, back and pelvic girdle region, sometimes referred to as the “powerhouse”). 

The focus is on quality of movement rather than quantity, which makes one feel invigorated rather than exhausted after a session. Pilates takes a balanced approach so that no muscle group is overworked and the body works as an efficient, holistic system in sport and daily activity.

Our Beginner Class is for those of you who are totally new to Pilates or have maybe tried it a few times. You will be taught by a certified teacher who will guide and cure you through several basic Pilates Core Principles,  Pilates Mat and Machine choreography.

The first 15 or 20 minutes of class will focus on these Pilates Core Principles that are critical for you to learn in order to reap the true benefits of Pilates. They include breathing, (and why it’s important), pelvic stabilization and activation, thesafe way to raise your head to protect your neck through cervical nod and curl, and how to properly stabilize and mobilize the shoulders.  

You will then move onto choreography which will include some basic Mat exercises and several movements using the entire Reformer Machine. Here is where you will incorporate the above Pilates Core Principles in each and every exercise. 

Greetings!
