Pilates is a total concept of fitness, coordination and body control. Joseph Pilates studied many forms of exercise, yoga, martial arts, gymnastics and more, and used his findings to build the unique program that he called "Contrology, " which we now just call Pilates.
The Pilates method builds long, lean muscles and balances the "core, " the deep abdominal and back muscles, creating balance between the deep stabilizing muscles near the joints and the superficial, more visible mobilizing muscles.We were all born perfect! But often, as we grow and age, we allow negative energies and habits to wear us down, causing "dis-ease."

Put your seat belt on. Mary Carole is uniquely talented and passionate. Her cues are exceptionally timed and you get so so much out of her vast array of amazing Stott equipment.
