Authentic Pilates Pedagogy

Befriend Your Body
Pilates School classes are inclusive of all bodies and fitness levels. Using a movement system of well-engineered exercises developed by Joseph Pilates, students will learn how to relieve tension, map their bodies, improve their posture, heal and prevent future injuries, and enhance their athletic performance.
ENRICH YOUR MIND
At its core, the Pilates method is about finding a balance of power between body, mind, and spirit. To cultivate this trinity, the Pilates Method system practices mindfulness techniques designed to harness the mind’s influence to support the body's needs.
UPLIFT YOUR SPIRIT
Pilates School students know that consistent time spent on the mat pays off in all sorts of rewards—from more energy to physical confidence to enhanced mood and perspective on life.

Three Things You Should Know Before Engaging in Pilates School

Pilates is awkward on purpose

Each week, we come together to practice physically and mentally challenging tasks. This experience can be awkward or perplexing, but it improves over time and is part of the Pilates method's ingenious design. Come to class precisely as you are, bring a towel, bring your sense of humor, and share the fun experience with fellow students.

The Core is more than the abdominals

A person's core can have multiple meanings, and the Pilates method aims to synthesize them all into an experience of personal empowerment.
