About Pilates

Even though the Pilates Method was developed over 80 years ago, it was not until the 1990s that it really began to become a mainstream phenomenon – Hollywood certainly played a big part in that! (more).

But the value of this tried and proven system of exercise goes far beyond still being one of the trendiest things around.
Dancers and athletes, physical therapists and seniors, people suffering from back problems and those looking for a balanced and balancing exercise program swear by the Pilates method and its unique way to combine stretching and core strengthening in every single move.
Joseph Pilates was well ahead of his time and even today his system is one of the most complete methods of strength-training. Pilates training does not isolate and work individual parts of the body. It works with the whole and was designed for you to learn the most economic, balanced and gracious way to move. Pilates training supports the body in rediscovering its natural movement and in alleviating imbalances and muscle tension by coming back into alignment.
Many of my clients have been with me for years and all of them can testify to the benefits Pilates exercise has brought them
- in their chosen sport or in daily activities
- with problems of the neck, hips, back and knees
- With their balance and posture
