About
Who can benefit from taking Pilates?Everyone!!!!
People of all ages and physical condition's may benefit from Pilates.
Pilates is highly recommended from dancers and athletes who frequently
suffer from injuries as a system for injury prevention. However, Pilates
is low-impact which is easier on the joints, eliminating impact and compression
often associated with muscle training and cardio.
What is the difference between Mat and Machine work?
Mat Pilates is done mainly on the floor using your own body weight or some assistance with Magic Circles. The Machines are all spring loaded to add more resistance along with your body weight.
What is the difference between Pilates and Yoga?Yoga is based on the principles of sustained movement or
held poses while Pilates centers on slow fluid movement. Pilates is more
true to life, the body was meant to move, not hold poses. Pilates can
actually help you in your yoga classes. During Pilates classes you will
learn that your abdomen helps with your balance and that can be incorporated
into holding your poses in yoga. Yoga is based in a spiritual practice,
Pilates is a fitness program,
How big are your classes?We like to keep our Mat class size down to about 10 to ensure that you get the personal attention and workout you desereve. Our instructors pride themselves on the personal attention that you will receive during your class. The instructors are also available for one-on-one, tag team (2 persons), and three-on-one lessons for either Mat or Machine work.
