Pilates

Pilates is a system of exercises devised by Joseph Pilates in the 1920s, which, when done consistently, results in better strength, flexibility, posture, and mental awareness. Rather than coming out of a workout feeling exhausted, this set of exercises, performed on the mat in a set order, results in a feeling of refreshment, and centeredness. Along with serving students new to Pilates, this class will also challenge the intermediate student, as you practice the details of the method and fine tune your technique.
