WHAT IS PILATES?


Joseph H. Pilates developed a system of body conditioning in the early 1900s. His methods have long been employed by dancers and athletes to maintain proper alignment and prevent imbalances. The Pilates Method consists of exercises performed on a mat and specialized resistance-based equipment, including reformers, trapeze tables and split-pedal chairs.


Pilates improves overall fitness and is also of significant value to those recovering from injuries. The controlled, fluid movements elongate and strengthen the entire musculature and develop an evenly balanced and supple physique.


Pilates is a safe, sensible, yet challenging exercise that teaches body awareness, good posture and efficiency of movement. No matter what your age or condition, Pilates at Motion Studies will transform the way your body looks, feels and performs.
