Joseph Pilates believed that corrective exercise should begin with education and total body conditioning. He designed over 500 specific exercises to develop the body uniformly and symmetrically. Control and proper form are basic principles in Pilates. Against the practice of repetitive exercise His regimen stressed quality of movement over quantity of repetitions and resulted in a body that was strong and sleek with a natural grace. This mind-body technique is a more efficient way of exercising. As your mind is directed through your body's movement, a new awareness is experienced. Pilates sessions are tailored specifically to the needs of each individual student.
