Pilates is a type of physical and mental conditioning first introduced to the US in 1926. The focus has since remained the unification of body, mind, and spirit - as well as moving from ones inner core or center. Some of the benefits include greater strength and flexibility, improved posture and body awareness, enhancement of core strength, a longer, leaner body, and a more focused mind. Exercises are performed on specific Pilates apparatus and may also incorporate small props and Pilates Matwork.

Rehabilitative Conditioning sessions bridge the gap between physical therapy and conventional exercise programs. These post-rehab sessions are designed for the client who has completed physical therapy and is in need of a supervised movement practice or one whose physician, chiropractor, or physical therapist has recommended movement. The Pilates and Gyrotonic Methods will be used with specific applications to post-rehab and therapeutic conditions.
