Pilates Group Classes and Private Instruction
All Pilates for Life classes focus on the Six principles of Traditional Pilates:
Concentration, Centering, Control, Precision, Breath and Flow
In addition, all Pilates for Life classes focus on the Five aspects of the mind:
Intelligence, Imagination, Intuition, Will, Memory
You begin Pilates by finding your center and engaging your powerhouse—your deep core muscles. Your mind must be fully engaged, allowing you to concentrate and enabling you to work with precision and control. Proper breathing techniques energize the body and create flow from one exercise to the next.
Pilates Matwork Classes
The Pilates mat class series follows Joseph Pilates’ original sequence of exercises to provide core strength, flexibility, alignment, balance, and proper breathing techniques. Pilates exercises consist of low reps so the quality of each repetition becomes very important.
As you develop a deeper understanding of your body and core strength, each exercise increases in intensity. When your mind is engaged and focused, balance improves, creating a body that is strong yet supple and flexible.
Pilates leaves the mind and body feeling energized! To add variety, the magic circle, light arm weights, thera-bands, and foam rollers are also used.
Pilates Small Barrel Classes
The Small Barrel allows clients to open tight chest muscles and hip flexors while supporting the spine. It deepens core strength and provides a more profound experience of traditional Pilates mat exercises.
