"I must be right. Never an aspirin. Never injured a day in my life. The whole country, the whole world, should be doing my exercises. They'd be happier."
- Joseph Hubertus Pilates, in 1965, age 86

Pilates is a compilation of exercises based on specific principles designed to strengthen, stretch, and balance the body.

Pilates creates amazing benefits not just as a fitness routine alone, but also as an important addition to professional sports training and physical rehabilitation of all kinds. With consistent practice, Pilates yields many amazing benefits.

Incorporating focused breathing, Pilates helps to improve lung capacity and circulation. Strength and flexibility, specifically throughout the abdomen and back muscles, improve with an efficient program. Bone density and joint health are enhanced, along with body awareness. An effective Pilates program will improve posture, balance, and core strength, and that capacity carries over into many other areas of one’s life.

A little about me…..
