Why try Pilates?
Many of us walk around with pain and restrictions that we accept as inevitable. We may not even realize that these limitations exist! Aging need not be about the degeneration of your lifestyle or movements. Our classes are designed to optimize your quality of life, body awareness or athletic
performance. Pilates explores the deep sensations of true muscular length, it releases myofascial tension and stimulates smooth joint range of motion. Pilates alleviates pressure on nerves from muscle tightness by creating length in the nerve pathways as it realigns the body from its
collapsed posture. Give it a try, open your running gait, relieve pain and enjoy the sensation of creating space within your body’s architecture!

What is Neuro-Activity for Everyday Living?
This is about training your brain in terms of your balance, proprioceptive sensors, and your motor neurons communication vitality between brain and muscle. With Pilates based movements and detailed focus on dynamically moving each joint properly you will quickly embrace your body’s ability to adapt and bring positive change!
Do you have Osteoarthritis?
Good news, Pilates is a great thing for you as well! Pilates encompasses movements that do not stress your joints or add burden to ligaments and cartilage that surround the joints. Our Gentle Pilates Level classes are a perfect atmosphere to bring positive relief from stiff, sore joints. The Pilates principles that are especially great for someone dealing with osteoarthritis are the following:
Mental focus on movements and muscle control within your personal range.
Awareness of proper spin and joint positions.
Development of the deep muscles of the back and abdominals that support your posture.
Breathing techniques that promote focus and support the structure of your movements.
Pilates will create space in your joints that will help relieve soreness, stiffness and ache as the movements all stimulate blood flow which in turn delivers nutrients to the muscles and tendons.
Private and Duet Lessons are also available.
What is Osteoarthritis?
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a joint disease that causes the cartilage to break down. Cartilage is a smooth, shiny material that lines the joints – allowing them to glide easily as you move. It is a type of resilient connective tissue that covers and protects the ends of bones in joints. Although Osteoarthritis can affect any joint in the body, it most frequently affects the hips, knees, hands, feet, and spine.
NOTE: ALL of our classes will be limited to a six-person maximum in order to ensure a high standard of quality in our teaching and your movements! Think of this as a way to obtain a specialized program for you with a discount price AND social entertainment!
