Pilates. What the heck is it?
"If it isn't hard, it isn't Pilates" is a common saying about Pilates. Pilates provides you with whole-body muscle control and awareness. By finding your true core strength, and building from there, it's amazing how quickly you feel improvement. But finding your core muscles often requires muscle release--the relaxation of "fight or flight" muscles that many of us use habitually. We help you identify inefficient movement habits and replace them with core-activating adjustments,
What is so special about this training method?
Awareness training, the secret sauce to this method, gifts you with the ability to self-assess your habits. You will be able to be your own correction-device by learning to feel your way to core-focused movement. When you effectively stabilize through your true core muscles, and consequently, you mobilize every inch of your muscular tissue, activating the muscle fibers of your powerhouse's potential.
Does developing "true core strength" reduce back pain?
Yes, you will be able to move with less pain. You will feel your movement grow grounded yet free, released yet focused, controlled yet light. Yes. Yes. Yes.
How many sessions will it take?
Joe Pilates believed that ..."after 10 sessions you feel different, after 20 sessions, you look different, and after 30 you are different. "Feeling different" is the learning curve that takes some practice, as you integrate new movement principles into your body. Never fear-- we are more than movement specialists, we are your coach and cheer squad.
If you are ready to begin, we suggest that you book 5 sessions and take advantage of the introductory 5 pack of solo sessions. Do you have questions? Then we suggest that you book an introductory session. At the end of the session, you may choose to roll that payment into the introductory 5 pack offer.
