WHAT IS PILATES?
Pilates is an exercise system structured to build core strength, flexibility, restore muscle imbalance and improve posture. The Pilates Method is not just an exercise, it is a series of controlled movements engaging your mind and body to achieve total body health and awareness. These classes will leave you refreshed and alert with a feeling of physical and mental well being.

WHO CAN DO PILATES?Pilates is for everyone. It is never too early or too late to start thinking of your body and health. Pilates is an individual activity focussing on the mind and body. I encourage and provide modifications when needed. Why Pilates during pregnancy? Pilates during pregnancy helps keep you strong and active. Pilates exercises have been modified to allow for the postureal changes through each trimester. This class focuses on core strength (kegels), joint stability, flexibility and breathing. These classes will help prepare you for labour and recovery. This class has a gentle approach and is friendly for new comers. If you are no stranger to Pilates this class is a great transition class for you. If you are new to Pilates always check with your doctor before starting a new exercise routine. |

 Pilates has really helped me to get in shape and stay in shape for my other activities, especially cross country skiing. Not only has my core strength increased but Pilates has improved my balance and flexibility. I enjoy the many different pieces of equipment we use as this keeps the classes interesting. Emily shows modifications to exercises so that everyone can participate at their own level - even though we are in a class we are treated as individuals. Sue B. |
