Pilates is an innovative and refreshing mind-body exercise system aimed at developing optimal core control by building strength and increasing flexibility through challenging yet safe integrative exercises designed to accommodate any level of fitness. Once a well-kept secret of professional dancers, Pilates results-driven exercise system is practiced by elite athletes, celebrities, and active people all over the world!
Pilates is truly results-driven exercise. By combining postural awareness with breathing and precision toning exercises for an efficient workout, you will quickly begin to feel and see the changes in your appearance and performance. "In 10 sessions you will feel the difference, in 20 you will see the difference, and in 30 you'll have a whole new body."
- Joseph H. Pilates

Pilates training is not meant to be left in the studio. The principles of proper spinal and pelvic alignment and movement integration that Pilates teaches apply to all of your everyday activities, including sitting at your computer, household chores and athletic activities. By developing proper technique in class, you can actually re-train your body to move in safer, more efficient patterns of motion outside of class! This leads to improved posture and coordination, quicker recovery times from injury, and enhanced sports performance! With a strong emphasis on combining breathing with movement, Pilates also offers great stress reduction benefits.

In addition to using Pilates as exercise, the movements in the Pilates repertoire are so safe, that they are also used to rehabilitate injuries. In fact, Pilates Rehabilitation is growing into one of the most respected and sought-after forms of treatment for athletes and active people everywhere!
There are two main types of Pilates workouts; exercises completed on the mat or those done on Pilates equipment. Both types utilize the same principles of breathing, spinal alignment, body organization, and functional movement. They are complimentary to each other, and will produce the best results when practiced equally. Nelson Pilates offers group classes in Pilates Mat, Refomer, and Tower. |
