Pilates is a system of physical and mental conditioning that encourages strength, length, and flexibility utilizing principles of breath, core conditioning, flow, control, and precision. One of the main focuses of Pilates is training the deeper core stability muscles of the abdomen and of the main joints of the body that are essential for alignment and stability of the entire body.
Pilates workouts can vary from therapeutic workouts to intense fitness workouts. Therapeutically, it is beneficial for rehabilitation from injuries, poor posture, chronic pain and chronic strain conditions including back, neck and knee pain.

Our focus at Embody is on the therapeutic use of Pilates. Pilates exercises are utilized to improve core strength, to re-educate muscular firing patterns, and to improve postural alignment restoring the delicate balance between strength, length, and alignment.
The emphasis on core conditioning while using biomechanically sound principles of alignment throughout the body makes pilates an excellent addition to help each client reach their individual functional and fitness goals.
