"Pilates has been great for my flexibility, strength and posture. My core is much stronger now and it has really helped my hip and back pain." - Julie Metscher	what is pilates? Pilates is a method of exercise and physical movement designed to stretch, strength and balance the body. According to its founder, Joseph Pilates, the center or core of the body is where the initiation of movement should come from. Pilates is a series of exercises that work the body from head to toe. The original exercises known today as “matwork” are done on the floor. The Pilates equipment uses spring tension to challenge and support the body and truly compliments the challenging matwork exercises. WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF PILATES? Pilates, when practiced faithfully, yields many benefits. Some of the benefits include increased lung capacity and circulation through deep, healthy breathing, and increased strength and flexibility. Overall posture, balance and core strength improves. The benefits are endless.
