What is Pilates?

Pilates is a mindful movement practice that focuses on strength, flexibility, and control. Developed by Joseph Pilates in the early 20th century, it is widely recognized for its ability to enhance core stability, posture, and overall body awareness.

At its core, Pilates emphasizes breath, and alignment. Movements are performed with control, often using body weight, small props, or specialized equipment like the Reformer to create resistance. Unlike high-impact workouts, Pilates prioritizes quality over quantity, making it accessible to people of all fitness levels.

One of Pilates’ greatest benefits is its focus on core engagement. By strengthening the muscles that support the spine, it helps reduce tension, improve mobility, and prevent injury. Whether you’re looking to move better in daily life, improve balance, enhance athletic performance, or recover from an injury, Pilates offers a sustainable, balanced approach to fitness.

With consistent practice, Pilates helps develop strength, mobility, and resilience, allowing you to move through life with greater ease and confidence.

Her sessions are always well balanced with strength, stretching and she challenges me to do more with my body even though I am unsure at times. My core is stronger and I feel better after Amy’s sessions. I would recommend her to anyone and often do.
