Pilates focuses on training the mind and body to work together towards overall fitness. Most traditional exercise programs focus only on strengthening the large muscle groups, ignoring the deeper and smaller stabilizing muscles. Pilates strengthens the core trunk muscles from the inside out. Through controlled and concentrated movements centered with breath awareness and dynamic spinal and abdominal stabilization, Pilates helps develop proper postural alignment along with more uniform and longer, leaner muscles.

| I had tried Pilates...and my back went out, so I was a little nervous at first. But Chris knows the human body, so there's no fear of injury. She's patient and encouraging, and is always updating her equipment to keep the exercises fun and interesting... |

Pilates will enhance your strength, flexibility, muscular balance, tone and endurance so that you become more injury resistant and improve in whatever sport or activity you pursue.
