Our mission at “From The Core Pilates” is to provide our clients with the purest form of Pilates. We are committed to providing the highest quality of instruction to ensure our clients receive all the benefits of the Pilates training system.
Pilates (Pil-lah’-tees) is a method of physical and mental conditioning. Developed by Joseph H. Pilates, he originally called this method “Body Contrology”- the complete coordination of body, mind and spirit. The Pilates method develops the body’s natural ability to allow muscles to work together as one unit responding simultaneously to the demands for strength and flexibility. Combining yoga, martial arts, and gymnastics, diving and boxing into a unique system, this system also puts emphasis on concentration, control, centering, breathing, fluid movement and precision.
