Pregnancy Fitness Program
The Pregnancy Fitness Program will help you address the needs of your rapidly changing body; gain flexibility; strengthen your body for labor and delivery with resistance work; relieve stress through breathing, relaxation, and visualization techniques; and eliminate common pregnancy complaints like backaches. The program consists of private, duet, and group training sessions. We recommend participating in one group class per week and either a private session, duet session, or home practice.
Postpartum Rehabilitation Program
Our Postpartum Rehabilitation Program will incorporate work on the ball, the reformer, and the mat. The sessions will concentrate on strengthening and toning key areas like the pelvic floor and abdominal muscles, safely and with minimal impact. The abdominal exercises are designed with consideration for a separation of the recti muscles, and specific exercises are intended to realign and strengthen the spine. Rebuild endurance and stamina lost during the months of pregnancy, gain flexibility and suppleness, strengthen the body with resistance work, and eliminate common postnatal complaints like backaches.
The program consists of private and duet and small group training sessions. Check our schedule for current group class offerings.

Athletic Training
It's time to take your athletic endeavors to the next level. Pilates can help golfers hit longer drives, triathletes break through plateaus in their training, and kickboxers find strength and stability they never thought possible.
We provide specific workouts designed for a variety of sports and activities. The exercise focus ranges from Iron man triathlons to the competitive martial arts. Through Pilates, you will learn how to stabilize intrinsic musculature and strengthen your core, making your movement more precise and efficient
For the golfer, Pilates practice focuses on the rotation of the torso to improve swing and yardage. It also strengthens the core to improve torque and control. Specific Pilates exercises compliment the attention to detail to shave strokes from the golfer's handicap.
Whatever your sport, we can improve your performance.
Pre-Professional and Professional Dancer Program
Dancers were one of the first populations that Joseph Pilates trained and rehabilitated from injury. Dancers have trusted Pilates to help them improve technique, alignment, and mind-body awareness for nearly a century. Pilates is excellent cross-training for the dancer as a way to prevent injury, maintain a strong healthy body, and feel a greater sense of mind-body connection. No matter where you are in your dance career, Pilates has something to offer. Give yourself the extra edge you need for auditions at the start of your career, or find the balance to help you maintain your current level of fitness. If you are a dancer who has sustained an injury, or if you are experiencing the effects of this rigorous discipline, come and check out what Pilates can do for your body.
