"Ideally, our muscles should obey our will. Reasonably, our will should not be determined by the reflex actions of our muscles"
"Never do 10 pounds of effort for a 5 pound movement"
"complete coordination of body, mind and spirit"
"You will feel better in 10 sessions, look better in 20 sessions, and have a completely new body in 30 sessions"
"Physical fitness is the first requisite of happiness. Our interpretation of physical fitness is the attainment and maintenance of a uniformly developed body with a sound mind fully capable of naturally, easily, and satisfactorily performing our many and varied daily tasks with spontaneous zest and pleasure."
"When all your muscles are properly developed, you will, as a matter of course, perform your work with minimum effort and maximum pleasure. "


Pilates is a "mind-body" form of exercise that can literally change your life. Mental focus and concentration are as important as the physical energy brought to each movement. The mind-body connection works in harmony to improve physique, posture, self confidence and an extraordinary feeling of wellbeing and fitness.

Unlike Yoga and other complementary disciplines, Pilates uses some complex apparatus to create the exact positions and resistances that are necessary to exercise exact muscles and muscle groups. The exercises are not difficult to do, but must be done exactly for a few repetitions to derive the benefit. We will lead you carefully through the most appropriate set of exercises that match your needs and abilities and ensure that you leave each session closer to your goal. Our studio is equipped with the latest developments in Pilates Equipment, matched only by our expertise in its proper use.

Regardless of age or physical condition (we train Tri-Athletes and Octogenarians!) you will find something in Expert Pilates for you.
