Emphasizing the concepts of core strength and stabilization, students are taught to recruit their “powerhouse” muscles located in the center of their body, that when strengthened properly, offer a solid foundation for any movement. Students are also taught to develop more effective breathing techniques and correct posture. Pilates Mat exercises are designed to increase core strength, develop proper breathing techniques, strengthen and elongate muscles, reduce stress and improve balance. Foam Rolling is a form of myofascial release that utilizes a foam roller or small ball to massage muscles, breaking down tights knots of fascia, adhesions and scar tissue. This encourages blood flow and circulation for faster recovery time and making stretching more effective.
A comprehensive exercise method done on an apparatus called the reformer. It is used for strengthening the core, increasing body awareness, and improving flexibility through the spine and lower back. Reformer Pilates, when done at least 2 times per week as recommended, strengthens and protects muscles and joints from injury. Students will learn progressive exercises that will increase core strength, develop proper breathing, and correct posture.
