Developed by Joseph Pilates in the early part of the 20th
century, the Pilates Method of exercise was designed to ease
and correct the imbalances that everyday life creates in our
bodies. Sitting at a computer, driving for long
periods of time, playing golf or tennis are often repetitive
and one sided causing us to favor some muscles over others.
Targeting the deep postural muscles, Pilates exercise works
by building
strength from the inside out, rebalancing
the body. It
will also improve your posture and tone muscles - achieving the
perfect balance between strength and flexibility and is a great way to
relieve unwanted stress and tension.
Pilates exercise offers both mental and physical training.
By improving body awareness and focus, tension is released
from the body and correct alignment is taught. The
Pilates movements deliver simultaneous stretching and
strengthening in a non-impact, balanced system of
"body-mind" exercise.
Elements of Pilates:
·
Lengthen short muscles & strengthen weak ones
· Stabilize postural muscles via a strong core
· Create a supple
spine
·
Enhance concentration

At Bernardsville Pilates, we follow a classical, systematic
and integrative approach to The Method utilizing different
specially designed apparatus - Mat, Reformer, Chair, Trapeze
Table, Barrels, Magic Circles, Balance Balls, and Ped-O-Pul.
Because Pilates exercise is taught one-on-one or in small
groups, our instructors can tailor the workout to each
individual's needs. All movements promote strength,
stability,
and an increased range of motion in the joints.
Pilates exercises can also be helpful during pregnancy as
well as after childbirth to restore abdominal muscle
strength and realign posture.
