Paradigm Pilates Program

Pilates is a mind/body technique that provides many mental and physical benefits. As Joseph Pilates, creator of the method said, “Pilates develops the body uniformly, corrects wrong postures, restores physical vitality, invigorates the mind and elevates the spirit.”

What is Pilates?

Pilates is an integrated exercise technique that seeks to actively engage the mind and the body together. The three overlying principles of Pilates are whole-body health, whole-body commitment and breath. These overlying principles, along with the other fundamentals and ideas that are commonly taught by our Pilates professionals, provide focus, depth and layers of learning in the technique. The other fundamentals and ideas are:

• Mental concentration
• Control
• Precision of movement
• Alignment & balanced muscle development
• Centering
• Rhythm & grace of movement
• Flowing movement

Benefits of Pilates include improve posture, muscle strength & flexibility, agility and balance & coordination, toned, flat, strong abdominals and a strong back and flexibility & ease of movement.
