Pilates
 
Pilates is a low impact system of exercise created by Joseph Pilates in the early 20th century. This method makes use of sequential and precisely performed movements that stretches and strengthens the muscles, while emphasizing on core control and proper alignment. Increasing core strength allows for improved spinal support, balanced posture, structural alignment of the skeleton, and mobility of the extremities, such that the body is able to function more efficiently. Focusing on coordination, movement flow, and corresponding breathing patterns are an integral part of Pilates exercises, creating a total mind and body workout.

The Reformer is the main piece of Pilates equipment that will be used in these sessions due to its versatility. More than 100 exercises can be performed using the Reformer. Other equipment used are the Trapeze table, wunda chair, and a variety of barrels. All together, a total of 500 distinct and effective exercises can be performed on these machines.

Prenatal Pilates Mat Classes

Deemed as one of the best forms of exercise for an expectant mother, Pilates can help women cope with the constant changes of her growing body.
