Why Pilates?
The Pilates system of conditioning developed by Joseph Pilates combines intense mental conditioning with physical training to produce a lean, lithe physique, proper body alignment, and balance.  It teaches muscles to work in a controlled way in harmony with breath.  Pilates training can be applied in everyday activities and enhance performance in specific athletic activities.  Based on strengthening support muscles deep within the body, the system facilitates change in neuro-muscular patterns to stabilize the spine and build flexibility and strength in the extremities.
 
Classes...
The System has two interrelated components – mat work – learning the basic Pilate’s exercises and concepts; and apparatus work – an enhancement of the mat work or in some cases, a means of therapeutic exercise to address specific injuries or weaknesses. 
 
  • Mat classes are available at the "Fundemental" Level, Level I, and Level II.
  • Apparatus work is available by private lesson. 
  • Pilates Wall Unit group classes are also available.
