Joseph Pilates invented specialized Pilates equipment to help give his clients feedback. The equipment is designed to either help to make an exercise easier or harder.
Using springs and your own body weight to add resistance to exercises. We never use excessive weight or too many repetitions, as we are looking for quality over quantity, less is more. Both concentric and eccentric use of the muscles is paramount to what makes Pilates exercises unique. Pilates aids with proprioception (finding your positioning in space) and balance. What you learn with us, you take with you, and will soon be on your way to correcting your own posture and alignment. |
