Movement, Mind and Muscles for Unsurpassed
Results
"At age fifty something, thanks
to Pilates and particularly to Lauren Tomasulo, I am in better physical
shape than I was in my twenties. Pilates workouts can be modified to
take into account injuries or physical limitations. One week after an
appendectomy I was back in the Pilates studio doing a modified
workout." - Cleo Crimmins
The hectic pace of today's
lifestyle leaves many of us with a body full of stress, extra weight or
muscle stiffness. These symptoms often point to imbalances where
focused exercise and relaxing breathing can significantly improve our
overall health, quality of life and personal appearance.
Pilates offers a unique blend of deep breathing combined with targeted
muscle-based stretches from the "powerhouse," the abdominal and back
muscles.
This combination provides incredible results in mind and body health
for all ages and physical ability levels. Pilates offers a unique, life
changing opportunity for every - body and all ages.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How is Pilates different from
going to the gym, yoga or other physical exercise activities?
A: Pilates works from the "powerhouse" - the abdominal and back muscles
and radiates outwards from this core to all muscles in your body. This
gives you a total body workout every time, instead of only working
select muscle groups. This holistic approach improves overall fitness
and engages the mind to work with your body to improve your overall
physical and mental harmony.
Q: How long does a session or class last?
A: Typically one hour. Whether a One-on-One session or a mat class, you
will experience deep strengthening and stretching exercises comfortably
and powerfully without profusely sweating. This is due to the focused
'powerhouse' - abdominal and back muscle outward - style of the
exercises.
Q: How long do I have to take Pilates classes for
results?
A: Well, how often do you brush your teeth? Frequency and commitment
are the key to lifelong fitness, however, you will see great results
just getting started.
Generally you will see results within a minimum of 10 sessions. You
will notice that your physical and mental fitness and stamina have
improved and your muscles are overall tighter and more toned. In 20
sessions you will see a noticeable improvement in your muscle strength
and stamina. Your waist will typically shape up as well. In 30 sessions
you will have a 'whole new body.' This means you will see inches
reduced in your abdominal area while significantly improving your
overall physical fitness, physical tonality and more distinct and a
more visually pleasing physical appearance.
Q. What should I wear to the session?
A. Comfortable clothing providing ease of movement is key. You will
want to be mindful to wear clothing that will allow you to move in
several different positions so leotard or exercise/workout attire is
typically recommended.
Q. What should I bring to a session?
A. Water is the most important as well as a change of clothes, if
necessary. Private changing areas are provided as well as cubbies for
your personal belongings. Most importantly - a good attitude!!
