Pilates Sessions
Pilates sessions are tailored towards your personal needs and goals. In your 55 minute session, I will use the equipment and cueing so that you are always in correct alignment while you move. Come feel the joy of movement and try Pilates. It is recommended that you wear clean socks or bring grippy socks if you have them. My Pilates sessions tend to have a flow so that you move from one exercise to the next in an order that is harmonious. In my 20 years of teaching Pilates, I have learned from many great teachers. I do not consider myself classically trained but have worked along classically trained teachers and non-classical as well. I feel I take the best of both worlds while honoring the true principles of the Pilates.
Pilates exercises when done correctly, will lengthen and strengthen your muscles. You never have to “warm up” to do Pilates or isolate a muscle group. It is an entire body exercise which is what makes it so brilliant. Pilates also focuses on core strength and correct alignment of the spine. Pilates continues to be popular in the modern world as an antidote to a forward head and rounded shoulders from sitting in front of the computer. Many dancers love Pilates to help support strength and flexibility without bulking up. Most importantly, Pilates is for EVERY-BODY. You do not have to be in shape or strong to begin your Pilates program.
Joseph Pilates came to NYC with his wife Clara and set up his first Pilates Studio in 1926 on Eight Avenue. Here he would showcase the equipment he created for his exercises, such as the Reformer and Cadillac and many other pieces that are still used today in Pilates studios. The dance world was the first group to embrace his method, then known as Contrology. George Balanchine and Martha Graham were some of the first professional to see the value in his method. It was through this studio that Joe Pilates would work with his first time students, some for many years. His students would become known as “First Generation Teachers.” The First Generation Teachers, would go on to create their own studios and training programs to spread the message of the Pilates Method to the greater world and create the next wave of marvelous Pilates Teachers.
