Pilates is an accessible way to improve flexibility, build strength, and develop control and endurance in the whole body. It puts emphasis on alignment, breathing, and developing a strong Powerhouse, and improving coordination, balance and posture. Pilates’ system allows for repetitive strength exercises to be modified in range of difficulty from beginning to advanced to suit any level of student.
