What is Pilates?
Pilates is a series of exercises designed to improve bodily strength, flexibility, and posture, as well as enhance mental awareness. We utilize both equipment, and mat/prop work to address strength and flexibility issues, as well as aide in proper posture and alignment.
Because all of the equipment and exercises are adjustable and tailored to your needs, no matter what you have going on in your body, we can design a program that's right for you.
