Pilates

Pilates will challenge you physically and mentally. It centers around alignment, control, breathing, and concentration. There is a strong focus on the core in every class. It is especially beneficial for those recovering from an injury or surgery. The main focus here is mid-line stabilization with flexibility, balance and power to be explosive. The use of springs on the apparatus allows for less stress on the joints and a good way to ease an athlete into a more vigorous regiment with free weights if you so desire.  It provides big compound movements for the body, moving it in all directions and planes, allowing the joints and muscles to experience their full-range of motion. The exercises allow you to work your muscles concentrically and eccentrically, paying close attention to alignment details and breath. Pilates builds body strength, and flexibility.
