Pilates is a low-impact, movement modality that focuses on optimizing spinal health through targeted strengthening of your core muscles. Created by Joseph Pilates in the 1920's, and originally called Contrology, the practice of Pilates works to help connect your mind to your body and your movement to your breath. The practice of Pilates can be done anywhere by anyone - regardless of age, gender or proximity to a studio; and a regular practice of the exercises has the capacity to bring a myriad of mental, physical and spiritual benefits into your life! Joseph Pilates was inspired to create the method based on his own ailments, which he was able to completely overcome through the practice and came to truly embody the full healing capacity of the practice. According to him, "Change happens through movement and movement heals."
As with any new fitness journey, it is always important to be cleared by your doctor in the event you are recovering from surgery, pregnancy or an accident of any kind, before beginning. One of the most wonderful things about Pilates is it can be done ANYWHERE and some classes don't use any equipment! Here at Restoration Pilates we have access to reformers, mats, weights and other Pilates props to both enhance and aid you in your practice. Modifications can be made for ANY exercise and since the practice of Pilates relies on a mind/body connection, you learn to troubleshoot aches and pains safely with a fully certified instructor. To quote our founder, Joseph Pilates, "Every moment of you life can be the beginning of great things."
*All classes here at Restoration Pilates and Wellness are open to anyone wanting to attend and are also leveled and described in detail both here on our website and in our app. One of my favorite things about Pilates is you are able to start with a foundational exercise and layers to reach an individual's threshold. I would recommend that all beginners to the practice start with our FREE Introduction to Pilates class and then start with Flow 1 and Happy Hour classes.
*Since Pilates is a low impact practice you can do it EVERY DAY! In my professional opinion, adding at least 2 sessions of Pilates weekly is necessary to really feel the benefits on a daily basis. However, I can attest to the fact that Joseph Pilates was spot on when he said, "In 10 sessions you'll feel the difference, in 20 you'll see the difference, and in 30 you'll have a new body."
