Personal, private, peaceful Pilates

Ever wonder what it would be like to be stronger, more flexible, and have more endurance?  How about just feeling more comfortable in your body with the ease and beauty of better posture?  Think of all the things you could do with more energy -- take walks, garden, play tennis or golf, travel with confidence, play with your children or grand children -- whatever you love to do can be even more enjoyable.

What is Pilates
Pilates is a system of whole body conditioning and core strengthening based on the ground-breaking work of Joseph Pilates (Pih-la-teez).  Dancers, actors, and athletes were among the first to appreciate the Pilates method for its unmatched ability to enhance physical performance.  Over the decades, Pilates earned respect as a valuable tool for rehabilitation from injuries as well as an accessible and adaptable form of mind-body exercise.

Benefits of Pilates
Practicing Pilates increases core strength, flexibility, muscular endurance, and balance.  Properly done, the exercises improve body alignment, release habits of overuse or misuse, and reduce pain associated with arthritis and other chronic conditions.

I offer private and semi-private lessons in my fully equipped garden studio one block from College Avenue in the Rockridge neighborhood of Oakland, CA.  Sessions are customized to focus on your body and your goals.  Give me a call to learn more about what Pilates can do for you.
