Even though Pilates has recently made it's way on the American exercise scene like a new pop star, the teachings of Joseph Pilates have actually been around for decades. Coming from a ballet background I know that dancers have gravitated towards Pilates for years in injury recovery, strength, core and balance training. Pilates studios are increasing in our country daily. I believe that this frenzy can lead individuals to lose the true value of what this training really means to the mind and body. Perfecting the Pilates technique takes time, patience and mental discipline. It is important to me that the full concept of body alignment and strength be achieved slowly and accurately as opposed to quickly and misguidedly. Exercising should not result in pain and injury to our bodies. Pilates exercise can help you to feel stronger and better about yourself physically and mentally. Anyone dedicating themselves to learning Pilates can benefit if given the right guidance and nurturing.

Spine Corrector
The Pilates Spine Corrector is a small piece of equipment employed for strengthening the core and stretching the spine and shoulders in a safe, stabilized, supported way. It adds variety and challenge to a Pilates mat routine whether one is a novice or expert. It is important that students new to the spine corrector know how to work on this apparatus before joining a group setting. Two private sessions are required before joining a class.
