Why Pilates?

Pilates is not just exercise. Pilates is a set of exercises that are challenging both physically and mentally and when done consistently, can promote strength, flexibility and coordination. 

Pilates focuses on breathing and alignment in order to balance out the musculature system. 

Through precise and controlled movements, Pilates can help you strengthen your core.

There are many ways to practice Pilates. Pilates can be practiced with a mat, multiple pieces of spring-based apparatus and some small props.

Pilates is fun and everyone can do it! 

Increase core strength -"the powerhouse".  These are all the muscles in your trunk that protect and stabilize the body during daily activity or during your adventures. 

Improve posture through alignment of the body & strengthening the neglected postural muscles. Weak imbalanced muscles can cause back pain and shoulder pain and prevent you from standing tall. 

Enhance sport performance & prevent injuries by balancing the muscles of the body so that muscles are neither too loose & weak or tight & rigid and improving body awareness so you are better able to respond to stimulus.

Improve balance through whole body exercises and core strength. 

Optimize movement patterns by strengthening as well as gaining flexibility in your muscles. Many Pilates exercises combine strength and stretching. 

Build better bone density by strengthening the muscles that support the bones. 

Enables you to have more fun when you engage in the outdoor adventures you love!
