Pilates

Pilates is a complete form of exercise that incorporates the body, mind and spirit functioning collectively as a coordinated whole. It’s the perfect balance of Stretch, Strength, and Control for the attainment of physical well-being and a calm mind- “a sane mind in a sound body.”

The Pilates methodology incorporates six principles of moving: Centering, Control, Concentration, Precision, Breath, and Fluidity. These six principles combined with correct alignment, the utilization of a strong center and opposing forces working in concert to obtain the two-way stretch throughout the body, are essential to creating a strong and stable foundation for movement to occur in all planes of motion. Here, you will learn to hone the skills needed to link one exercise to the next, without changing the purpose of the exercise. This is how Springs & Slings strives to preserve the true essence of Joseph Pilates- by respecting the progression of development of the Method he created for everyone to enjoy, learn, and seek true transformation from the inside out. And this is what separates Springs & Slings Pilates’ work from other exercise modalities out there today-because they do the work as Joe and his lineage of teachers prescribed, without changing the intent of the method.
