Pilates will quickly strengthen your muscles and increase joint flexibility, allowing you to stand taller and move more freely. Pilates starts from the body’s core with  isolated movements then works into maximum ranges of motion to  challenge you as well as to create more functional and efficient muscle-strength.  While continually building strength and improving joint function and stability, your level of body-awareness dramatically improves making both simple and complex movements more natural. This increase of efficiency and control throughout your body will improve posture, balance and coordination. Your energy level will go up as your clothing size goes down! While Pilates is not considered a cardiovascular exercise program, the traditional Pilates method is executed with such precision and focus on the deeper more intrinsic muscles that they will tighten and lengthen around the bones, creating a longer and leaner body type. Pilates can add the missing piece to your exercise program, without jarring impact, and at a very low risk of injury.  You will leave every session feeling strong and invigorated, not exhausted.
