The Pilates method develops proper alignment with a focus on core strength to enable the correct position of the pelvis and spine. It's progressive approach from the core outward moves and strengthens all the muscles of the body to support healthy joints, muscle flexibility, circulation, breathing and organ function.
Through the Pilates method we strive to open up the mind-body connection. Not only should the mind be able to tell the body what to do, mind should also be receptive to the messages body sends. Pain is a signal that the position the body is operating in is incorrect, causng inefficient movement patterns. Our objective is to move pain free. Understanding optimal anatomical alignment and retraining the muscles to achieve that is key.
The human body is all too good at compensating to make up for imbalances. Whether those are due to sitting at a desk for many hours, practicing a hobby that favors one side of the body more than the other, or injuries, "Pilates" corrects imbalance by strengthening both sides equally using specific exercises and equipment that improve symmetry. Symmetry = balance = the ideal you.
