| What is Pilates? Pilates is a form of body conditioning in which one uses the body combined with the mental effort to accomplish simple yet demanding movements aimed to challenge and strengthen the core (abdominal) muscles as well as gain mobility and stability of the spine.  What does Pilates do for you? Pilates helps to flatten your tummy, strenghten your abdominal muscles, increase your flexibility of your limbs and spine and helps to decrease tension build up caused by stresses of daily living. |

| What are My Choices
If I Want to Learn Pilates? You may take classes or take a private or semi-private lesson, based on your current experience with pilates. Classes are limited to eight (8) people so that the instructor is able to give individual attention. Groups work with either mat or ball exercises. Private session clients also have the option of reformer training to further enhance their pilates experience. Group sessions start in the Spring, Summer, Fall and Winter. Private instruction can start at any time of the year. Call the clinic at 905-389-9522 for details and times. |
