  • Pilates is a body conditioning method that emphasizes creating a strong and stable center (also called the Powerhouse) to support the spine while simultaneously creating length throughout the entire body by using springs as resistance. All movements in Pilates are meant to flow (no poses) and to be executed with complete control, precision, and proper breathing. The integrated system of Pilates apparatus (e.g. Reformer, Spine Corrector, Cadillac etc.) which helps facilitate these also differentiate the two commonly confused exercise regimens. And because Pilates is best learned in a one-on-one setting, individuals are also favorably situated to understand proper body mechanics and techniques that prevent common injuries during/after exercise

    Pilates is not the same as yoga, but the principles learned in Pilates can certainly improve one’s yoga practice or any other physical activity for that matter.
