Pilates at The Performance Health Centre
"In 10 sessions you will feel a difference
In 20 sessions you will feel a difference
In 30 sessions you will have a whole new body!"
- Joseph Pilates
Pilates is not, as NCIS character Special Agent Tony DiNozzo
proclaims, "expensive stretching" and nor does it have much in common
with yoga. Pilates is a full-body workout that is challenging,
centering, and calming all at once. No matter what your fitness level
is, Pilates will make you sweat as you move from one exercise to the
next at a fluid pace doing exercises that are adapted to suit your
body. Pilates preaches precise movements that are cued and
corrected
to the same degree as classical dance forms, yet are dynamic and fun
to move through. Challenge yourself with a new way of thinking for
your body!
