A German gymnast, Joseph Pilates, created his revolutionary exercise method in the 1940's to realign and balance the body. Pilates builds long, lean bodes, adding strength without adding bulk. Do you know where your psoas is? Or what it's doing? How about your piriformis or your pelvic floor? Can you articulate your spine?
Gyrotonics feels so easy that you can almost forget you're exercising. The machine you work on is called the Cobra. Some people say it looks like a medieval torture device, but the truth is it's more like your favorite masseuse and yogi wrapped up in one. The exercises are based on the principles of yoga, ballet, swimming, t'ai chi, and gymnastics.

I was surprised to see the many different types of equipment Ileana uses in her practice. We have been coming to her for about a year now. Mostly individual, but when we do "duet" sessions Ileana adjusts for the difference in our ability and needs. I can say with certainty that I live my life now with much more
