What is Pilates? Pilates is a form of mind-body
exercise designed to strengthen and tone the core
muscles of the body using the principles of Joseph
Pilates:
*Control *Breath
*Concentration *Precision
*Centering *Flow
Quickly, you can achieve toned muscles, sleek
thighs and a tighter tummy! No wonder
Hollywood celebrities and models are big fans of
Pilates. The Pilates Promise is this . . . "After 10
sessions, you will feel the difference; in 20 sessions
you will see the difference; and in 30 sessions, you
will have a whole new body." Joseph Pilates
What is the difference in mat Pilates and
Pilates on the reformer? Both forms of Pilates
are very effective for improving balance, muscle
tone and core strength. Mat exercises use precise
movements to isolate the muscle being worked
while also stretching and lengthening the area to
keep the look nice and lean.
The Pilates reformer also works the isolated muscle
group, but utilizes straps and pulleys to create
increased resistance creating a deeper challenge for
the muscles. The best combination for rapid results
is a blend of mat and reformer exercises.
There will be a trial Reformer class on April 4
at 5:30pm
Trial classes are for people who have never
experienced the Reformer, but would like to
try. Cost is $10 with a portion of the
proceeds going to Emerging Lotus. It is
important to sign up ahead of time by
