As you work with Pilates equipment you will experience a completely different mode of exercise. The spring tension allows you to optimally use straps for hands or feet, plus supports for your back, neck and shoulders. Your body is not only supported, but also challenged as you learn to move more efficiently. The effectiveness of Pilates comes from the training of several muscle groups at once in a smooth, continuous movement. By developing proper technique your body is able to nurture, heal, and invigorate itself.
