Pilates is a unique body conditioning method that includes lengthening, strengthening & stretching exercises developed by Joseph H. Pilates over 90 years ago. Stott Pilates is a more up-to-date (rather than traditional) method that focuses more on good alignment and proper form.  It was developed to create a healthy life, body & mind. With Pilates Matwork you work the body as an integrated whole; rather than isolating certain muscles. Pilates Matwork teaches us that our own body can be used efficiently to achieve physical fitness without any other equipment or tools. Added tools will enhance the results and gives variety to the workout.

Pilates mat exercises are practiced on a mat with bare feet in standing, kneeling, sitting, on hands & knees, and lying down on your belly/back/side. Exercises move the spine in all its natural motions (forward, backwards, sideways and twisting). Pilates aims to build strength in and around the core, from the inside, out. Some exercises create strength & stability, some increase flexibility, and others are to relax.

Offers range of motion and functional work as well as new programming.  It has a retractable rope system and a vertical frame with adjustable rope pulleys and spring hooks which allow movement in horizontal and vertical planes.  Great for working with regular and special populations as well as athletic conditioning.
