Energy is a rare exercise studio. The teachers combine experience and excellence with a nurturing, optimistic, gentle spirit. Highly attuned to the individual needs of all of their students, they are remarkably helpful with injuries, pain and physical limitations. They know just when to push us past our comfort zone, and when to encourage gentle stretching.
One of the most frequently asked questions regarding Pilates. The answer is a resounding "YES"! The Pilates Method is so tailored to the individual that there is no size, age, or fitness level that cannot benefit in some way from this technique. Its main goal is to teach and promote strong and flexible minds and bodies.
Everyday activities may strengthen some muscle groups and leave others underdeveloped. The Pilates Method promotes physical harmony and balance for people of all ages and physical conditions while providing a refreshing and energizing workout. Because conditioning sessions are done one-to-one with a teacher or in closely supervised small groups, the lessons are tailored to your specific goals.
Yes, if you have been doing Pilates prior to becoming pregnant. No, if you are new to Pilates. The Method can be used by MOM's before, during, & after after, with permission from your Doctor. The "POWERHOUSE" - abdomen, lower back, and buttocks - is supported and strengthened, enabling the rest of the body to move freely.

I had a free Pilates evaluation with Iva and it was over an hour's workout! Iva was patient, knowledgeable, and warm. She quickly adjusted the position if I wasn't able to do it and was completely non-judgmental. I highly recommend Iva and Energy Pilates! The location is lovely, and easy to find with ample parking in the lot.
