The Pilates Method makes people aware of their bodies as single integrated units, improving alignment and breathing and increase efficiency of movement. It consists of a sequence of carefully performed movements; some carried out on specially designed equipment. Each exercise is designed to stretch and strengthen the muscles involved, opening the joints and releasing tension. There is a specific breathing pattern for each exercise to assist in directing energy to those areas while relaxing the rest of the body.

It works many of the deeper muscles together, improving coordination and balance, to achieve efficient and graceful movement. Rather than pursuing the unrealistic goal of having an ideal or perfect body, the practitioner develops a healthy self-image, through the attainment of better posture, proper coordination and improved flexibility.

Though the Pilates Method requires more personal supervision than other exercise programs, it is safer and more effective in the long run. It concentrates on alignment, lengthening all of the muscles of the body into a balanced whole, building endurance and strength without putting undue stress on the lungs and heart. It can integrate with any other exercise systems and functions. The Pilates Method is a non-impact, balanced system that works as well for the very fit individual as it does for the injured and the older population.
