A beautifully built house does not stand on a shaky foundation nor can an athlete or fitness enthusiast perform to their best without the infrastructure needed to support activity. Pilates offers a foundation for yoga, running, strength training, sports and all other physical endeavors. Core strengthening, mind-body connection, precise movements, and stretching make up this series of exercises to create the basis for your fitness goals.
