An Introduction to Pilates
“Ideally, our muscles should obey our will. Reasonably, our will should not be dominated by the reflex actions of our muscles.”
~Joseph H. Pilates
What To Expect
What you can expect from Pilates is a longer, leaner line to the musculature — picture a strong, lithe ballet dancer or finely sculpted racehorse. Other improvements include better posture, higher energy levels, and increased coordination, balance, flexibility and strength. Regular practitioners also boast better body awareness, which carries through into improved practical function in all daily activities, including playing sports. One precisely executed Pilates session is worth more than several hours at the gym — and afterward you'll feel invigorated, not exhausted.
