The Pilates method promotes physical harmony and physical balance while providing a refreshing and energizing workout. Because conditioning sessions are done one-to-one with a certified teacher or in closely supervised small groups, each session is tailored to your specific needs.

Practiced consistently, Pilates yields numerous benefits:

  • Pilates teaches balance and control of the body, and that capacity spills over into other areas of one's life.
  • Strength and flexibility, particularly of the abdomen and back muscles, coordination (both muscular and mental), are key components in an effective Pilates program.
  • Increased lung capacity and circulation through deep, healthy breathing is a primary focus.
  • Posture, balance, and core strength are all greatly increased.
  • Bone density and joint health improve, and many experience positive body awareness for the first time.

Within weeks of starting, you will notice that your stomach is flatter. Your muscles will feel more toned and your joints will be looser and more supple. Some people even claim to get taller as their spine is stretched and straightened. Your posture in everyday life will improve as you strengthen the body's central core muscles, helping you to stand straight and hold your upper body correctly.

Those with back or neck problems will learn to build up their weaker muscles while protecting the spine and relieving strain on injured areas. Once you understand why you have been suffering back or neck pain, and that postural misalignments have been contributing to your problem, you will have the tools to alleviate and prevent any future trouble yourself.

Pilates can also improve your sex life. A vast amount of exercises is being placed in the pelvic muscles for sexual dysfunction in both sexes. Pilates originally aimed his exercises to improve all areas of life, especially sexuality and sexual health.
