Pilates, a non-impact method of exercise developed by Joseph Pilates over 80 years ago, is designed to stretch, strengthen, and balance the body. Pilates has proven itself invaluable both as fitness and as an important adjunct to professional sports training and physical rehabilitation modalities. A systematic practice of specific exercises coupled with focused breathing patterns, Pilates is done on specialized equipment using spring-loaded resistance. With over 500 exercises, the Pilates technique will keep you interested and challenged.

The Pilates program at Embrace Health takes a classical approach to Pilates and stays true to Joe’s original teachings. We utilize all of the Pilates equipment including Reformer, Cadillac, Wunda Chair, Barrels and Magic Circle. Our skilled and Certified Pilates Instructors are highly trained to give clients an unparalleled amount of personal attention, even in group sessions. Through private and small group training, clients learn a systematic practice of specific exercises coupled with focused breathing patterns.
