Frequently Asked Questions

What kind of training is Pilates?

Pilates is a method of exercise that consists of low-impact flexibility and muscular strength and endurance movements. Pilates emphasizes use of the abdominals, lower back, hips and thighs. Pilates is named for its creator, Joseph Pilates, who developed the exercises in the early 1900s.

Which is better yoga or pilates?

Pilates focuses on trying to relax muscles which are tense and provide strengthening of the numerous muscles of the body.

Unlike yoga, Pilates includes the use of resistance machines making it much more similar to weight training than yoga.

What is the mind-body connection?

All Pilates movements have meaning and to find that meaning requires concentration and focus. As you concentrate you will find control and as you practice control you will fine tune your precision. It is very easy to go through the motions of a Pilates exercise without truly practicing Pilates. Incorporating the Pilates Principles is what makes all the difference!
