Pilates
Founder Joseph Pilates preferred fewer, more precise movements, requiring control
and form. He believed that mental and physical health were essential to one another
and created what is claimed to be a method of total body conditioning that
emphasizes proper alignment, centering, concentration, control, precision, breathing,
and flowing movement, "The Pilates Principles".
Pilates classes help to build strength and flexibility, with an emphasis on
lengthening the body and aligning the spine, rather than on building muscle mass.
Pilates' focus is on the "powerhouse" region of the body which includes the muscles
of the abdominals and the lower back. Because of its focus Pilates has become
popular not only in the field of fitness, but also in rehabilitation. It can be used to
progress individuals through movements that represent their day-to-day activities.
The focus on strengthening the core/powerhouse muscles and improving postural
awareness are especially well indicated for the alleviation and prevention of back pain.
"The Pilates Principles"
Pilates follows principles based on a well-constructed philosophical and theoretical
foundation. It is not merely a collection of exercises but a method, developed and
refined over more than eighty years of use and observation. While Pilates draws from
many diverse exercise styles, there are certain inherent ruling principles that bring
all these elements together under the Pilates name. The Principles:
CORE Wellness Centers offers a variety of pilates packages, customizable to your
needs. We offer one-on-one, duo, and even quad apparatus sessions. Each package
can be customized for you and your friends. Our facility offers both Pilates reformer
and mat classes as well.
