Classical Pilates' movement and its focus on breathing has been proven, for us, to be the best direction in working with our cliental. With its ruling principles of: Concentration; Control; Centering; Fluidity; Precision; Breath; Imagination; Intuition; and Integration; it allows clients to experience the full range of benefits practicing the Pilates Method. We focus on breath to lead every movement performed; the breath leads the muscular engagement, leads the movement.

We at The Pilates Studio feel strongly that a new client should start with private instruction to assure that s/he knows the proper breathing techniques, muscle contraction and release and to make sure the spine, neck, and entire body is maintained in a safe position during each exercise, before moving into a larger class.

At The Pilates Studio, our goal is to help clients incorporate core stability not only in Pilates exercises but also in every aspect of their lives. As they acquire coordinated movements skills under our supervision, they can also learn from us how to safely play a sport or perform a job, how to stand, bend, rotate, lift weight or simply maintain a “neutral pelvis/neutral spine” position. Each principle in itself is a ‘micro-skill’, which when combined with other micro-skills, form a functional ‘macro-skill’.

Through concentrated and creative effort you will reap the myriad benefits this unique method of conditioning has to offer, awakening your body through movement and your mind through conscious thought.

The Pilates Studio--well being and balance for body, mind, and spirit.
