Pilates does not focus on working or developing one part of the body in isolation while neglecting others. While there is a focus on all movements originating from your Powerhouse or core, the body is trained as an integrated whole in each exercise. Every single part of the body is activated and strengthened during your Pilates workout.

With a focus on strengthening your muscles while stabilizing and creating space in the joints, Pilates can actually help to reverse some of the impact other styles of exercise have on the body. By activating and strengthening your deep core and other stabilizing muscles, spinal stability and joint strength are improved. You will often walk away from a Pilates session feeling taller and more mobile than before.

Good posture is a reflection of muscular balance and alignment. When your body is in this balanced state it moves freely with ease. A regular Pilates practice will encourage the balance your body needs to move harmoniously without restriction.

Pilates exercises and sequences are easily adapted to suit the needs of each and every individual. Joseph Pilates left us with a library of over 500 exercises and many different pieces of Pilates equipment. From his system of exercises we can easily put together individualized workouts that are most effective for each and every body.
