Why Us, Why Pilates

Our Pilates studio is steeped in the rich lineage of Joseph Pilates, carried forward through the teachings of Romana Kryzanowska and Inelia Garcia. Joseph Pilates, a true visionary, developed a system of exercises that uniquely targets the muscles, connective tissues, and bone structure, utilizing both concentric and eccentric movements to maximize the benefits of every motion.

How Can Pilates Help You

The complete system, how we teach it, is a total body reconstruction process that results in increased circulation, correct posture, balanced muscle strength, increased flexibility and mobility, and a united mind, body and spirit for the best functioning body we each can attain.

Six Principles of Pilates

Pilates is a lifelong process of growth. It grows with you and changes as you change overtime. The principles are in every exercise, in every level—from basic to advanced. This is something to consider in your Pilates journey!

1 CONCENTRATION

Connect the mind and the body. Mind-body awareness is about becoming connected to yourself.

2 CENTRALIZATION

Move from your Power House. The body is designed to move from the center.

3 PRECISION

Transforming the body. Precision of movement in exercise leads to postural adjustments.

4 BREATHING

Increase lung capacity and intensity. In Authentic Pilates, the breath is naturally coordinated with the movements.

5 CONTROL

A control of the self. Control is the positioning of the body during the execution of the exercises.

6 FLOW

The state of flow. Obtaining this state is when you fully experience each exercise.
