Pilates is complete coordination of body, mind and spirit.
Why you should consider Pilates.
“You will feel much better in ten sessions, look better in twenty sessions, and have a completely new body in thirty sessions.”
Joseph Pilates
Pilates Philosophy.
Whole Body Health.
Whole Body Health refers to the development of the body, the mind and the spirit in complete coordination with each other. Joseph Pilates wrote that the Whole Body Health could be achieved through exercise, proper diet, good hygiene and sleeping habits, plenty of sunshine and fresh air, and a balance in life of work, recreation and relaxation.
Whole Body Commitment.
Whole Body Commitment is mental and physical discipline, a work ethic, an attitude toward one’s self and assuming a lifestyle that is necessary to achieve Whole Body Health.
Breath.
The breath is an integral part of overall body functioning, increasing volume capacity, oxygenation and other physiological changes. Full consistent inhalation helps the circulatory system nourish all the tissues with oxygen-rich blood while carrying away impurities and metabolic wast. Joseph Pilates referred to this cleansing mechanism as the “internal shower” which results in mental and physical invigoration and rejuvenation.
