| What is Pilates? Pilates provides a TOTAL BODY workout with emphasis on core conditioning and overall flexibility. The "core" is the area around your middle where the muscles that support the spine are located. The "core" extends from the shoulder to the pelvic floor. The Pilates technique consists of a series of controlled, flowing movements, that will sculpt, strengthen, and increase flexibility.

| What to Wear: Pilates is usually done barefoot, so no special footgear needed! There are a few things to consider when you dress for a Pilates workout. First, make sure your clothes are comfortable and allow you to move and stretch fully. You will also want to avoid wearing accessories while you're working out. Long necklaces, belts, dangling bracelets and such could not only be distracting, but could be dangerous. Similarly, hair needs to be out of the face and tied back if it is long. One other note: more and more people are finding that they are sensitive to perfumes and strongly scented deodorants. Please refrain from wearing strong scents. |
| What to Bring: You won’t need to bring much with you. I'll provide any equipment that might be needed for the workout, including mats. That said, many people like to work out on their own mat. Pilates mats are available in many stores and online. Pilates mats are often made a little thicker than a yoga mat, and are recommended. While you probably won’t be guzzling water as some do during aerobic workouts, you may still want to have a water bottle available, and make sure that you are well hydrated before you start. |
