New Center Pilates

Overview

The Pilates method is an integrated exercise system which combines elements of gymnastics, yoga, weight-training and breath work. The exercises are very precise and controlled, and are designed to engage the body and mind. This helps to promote increased body awareness by focusing your attention on each moment of exercise. ​Once you learn Pilates, which is really the principles of movement, you will use it to maximize your benefits from other workouts, at home and in the office. ​Conventional workouts tend to focus on large muscle groups. This can lead to muscular imbalance-a primary cause of injury and chronic pain. Pilates conditions the whole body; your entire musculature is evenly balanced and conditioned.
