Questions:
What is Pilates?
Pilates is an exercise method based on the work of Joseph Pilates.
Its focus is on strengthening the "powerhouse" (abs, buttocks, and
inner thighs) to execute the exercises which are designed to
strengthen muscles, increase flexibility and improve posture.
Pilates will lengthen and strengthen your muscles with-out the bulk.
The method involves concentration and the coordination of movement
and breath, thereby helping to balance mind and body.
Why the name
"grasshopper"?
The "grasshopper" is a very challenging exercise in pilates that
embraces all its fundamental principals; breathing, centering,
control, concentration and fluidity.
Where do I begin?
We suggest you start with a few
private sessions. We want you to be familiar with your body's
strengths and needs and work correctly from the beginning. We will
be introducing you to the philosophy of pilates, the terminology,
and the different apparatuses. There's a lot of information that
needs focus in the beginning to help set up your platform for your
future training.
How many times a week should I
do Pilates?
Two to three times a week is what
we suggest to our new clients. This may include any combination of
classes. Pilates is like a language, consistency is the key.
