FAQs
An exercise method that focuses on: Postural Symmetry, Core Control, Spinal Mobilization, Breath, with Mind, Body, Spirit leading the way. We focus on strengthening through the complete range of motion of all the joints, beginning small and progressing to large. The result is strong, long and lean muscles, balancing the small and large muscles throughout the body.
You work the whole body, from the inside out. You cannot progress without overcoming your isolated weaknesses and training them. Often where there is a disconnect in the body we find compensations,or faulty movement patterns, which can lead to injury. We like the idea that we are only as strong as your weakest link.
WHO CREATED THIS METHOD?
1923 German born Joseph brought this unique method of physical and mental conditioning originally called CONTROLOGY to the US. By early 1960’s the method was sought after by George Balanchine, NY City Ballet Dancers, actors, gymnasts, and figure skaters. The name was eventually changed to Pilates, which feels appropriate, given Joseph created this amazing method of movement.
IS PILATES THE SAME AS YOGA?
- Yoga Is over 2000 years old, while Pilates is just over 80 years young
- Pilates is flowing movement, not generally held. Yoga tends to hold postures at or near end range. Pilates starts with a small range, progressing to large when there is enough muscle strength to support the movement.
START-FINISH
- Yoga starts standing and finishes supine
- Pilates starts supine and finishes standing. Standing with new awareness of your body
- Pilates is centered around mental clarity. Through the precision of movement, and breath, comes a ZEST for life and better concentration.
