ANNOUNCEMENTS
Awareness is the Key to Change
Like any new subject to a student, education starts with vocabulary and principles relative to the new subject.  Awareness then grows and is applied.  In regards to Pilates, as you learn more about your body and how it works, you will establish a mind-body connection.  You will then begin to hear your body reveal your unique posture and movement characteristics.  Come find out what your body is telling you!

What is Pilates?
Pilates is an anaerobic form of holistic exercise designed by Joseph H. Pilates (1880-1968), to strengthen, lengthen, and balance the body.  It focuses on breath, core strength, joint stabilization, and coordination.  Pilates is not about tiresome repetitions.  These gentle exercises are to be performed precisely and slowly with fewer repetitions (generally maximum 10).  This gives more biofeedback to let your brain recognize the honest movement of the muscles that are firing or not.    Pilates has many benefits, such as: improved posture; strengthening without building bulk; sliming down and toning up; feeling energized; overcoming injury; improving flexibility and movement for those with Rheumatoid Arthritis and Parkinson's; and feeling better in our own bodies.
