Why do Pilates?

Pilates is not just exercise. Pilates is a system of physical and mental conditioning created by Joe Pilates in the 20th century. Through proper repetition and mastering the exercises, practitioners gradually acquire that natural control and coordination, associated with subconscious activities. 

 

The practice of pilates can improve your physical strength, flexibility, and coordination as well as reducing stress, and improving mental focus. Among other benefits, pilates can restore proper posture, mental and spiritual rejuvenation, self body awareness, spine decompression, enhance quality of life and weight loss.

 

Joseph Pilates, created a system of numerous exercises which could be performed on a mat, or in the apparatus created by him, such as the reformer, the wunda chair, Cadillac, spine corrector, among others. The idea is that anyone can do pilates, despite the age, injuries, or malalignments, and that the apparatus will facilitate the movement.

Reviews

I LOVE THIS PILATES CLASSES! In the beginning I started  Pilates just to work out but I wasn't very optimistic on how much I was going to enjoy it. Well, it turned out that I really enjoy the classes and I'm always waiting for that time of the week that I have to go to class 

MARIA M.

Great Pilates classes for all types of bodies. Belen is a very skilled, attentive, and responsive teacher. Her studio environment is clean and safe. She is an exceptional teacher. Don't miss the opportunity to work with her!

I started taking classes from Belen while suffering from a sever lumbar spine injury. The doctors suggested surgery. I had already been months in physical therapy with no improvement. I had lost probably 50% of my muscle mass.
