Pilates: The Balanced Body Workout
There are 500 challenging moves within the Pilates repertoire and all are based on the principal that by systematically and methodically developing a strong and flexible torso, the whole body can be balanced, aligned and conditioned for optimal performance. Pilates will re-shape your body. It will slim your muscles and make them more compact, developing sleekness rather than bulk. Unlike traditional exercise which tends to overload the large muscles in the body, Pilates enables you to strengthen smaller muscles to support your movement and create a Balanced Body that stems from the core muscles that include your abdominals.

As Pilates requires concentration and exact alignment for each exercise, the method becomes a total mind and body experience, giving mental health advantages as well as a more balanced, toned body!

“The only true guide to your true age lies not in years, but indicated by the degree of natural and normal flexibility enjoyed by your spine throughout your life.”
