Pilates is a system of exercise developed by Joseph Pilates in the early to mid-1900’s. Throughout his life Pilates designed hundreds of exercises to improve core strength, flexibility, balance, coordination, efficiency, and posture. Exercises can be performed in multiple positions, on a mat, and on or with various pieces of equipment. Smaller apparatus such as balls and bands can also be incorporated.
Because it focuses on full body conditioning, Pilates can uncover isolated weaknesses, postural asymmetries, and muscle imbalances that affect biomechanics throughout the body. Pilates principles of concentration, centering, control, flow, precision, and breathing can be applied to all activities.
In addition to classic Pilates exercises, Emily uses the knowledge she has gained as a physical therapist, yoga practitioner, and student of various forms of movement to create safe, interesting, and well-rounded routines for all variety of individuals.
