PILATES... Feel The Difference.

Barbara Smyth, Certified Polestar Pilates Instructor, brings to the South Charlotte community One on One Pilates Training.

Pilates is a physical fitness system developed in the early 20th century by Joseph Pilates. The exercise programs range from beginner to advanced levels with modifications to all exercises for everyone's needs and/or ability to perform the exercises.

Pilates helps create a stronger mind/body awareness and has many benefits: it will help improve your balance, coordination, flexibility, range of motion and strengthen your core muscles. All of these benefits will help to maintain a healthy and strong Spine. Another important benefit to Pilates is proper breathing. If done correctly, it brings more oxygen to the muscles and increases your lung capacity. Pilates plays a role in fitness programs for any sport, ie. golf, tennis, football and even for those individuals who have never played a sport or exercised.

Pilates Mat classes are performed on the floor in a sequence of exercises that start from lying down to sitting or kneeling to standing, giving the whole body a complete and well rounded workout. You can also bring your Pilates exercises from the floor to the apparatus. This is done by performing a sequence of exercises on the Reformer, Cadillac or the Chair. These pieces of apparatus will give you added resistance with your workout to enhance the results of your Pilates workout. Taking a Pilates session with a combination of apparatus and a mat program will give you a full appreciation of how much you can get out of a Pilates workout.
