Based on 6 traditional principles (Breathing, Concentration, Flow, Precision, Control, and Center) Pilates is movement with purpose and intention. Focused on alignment and emphasizing an activated core, Pilates uses spring resistance to create movement challenges in a myriad of different body positions. It is a phenomenally versatile form of exercise, appropriate for bodies of all ages and sizes, flexible enough to accommodate and protect injuries and limitations, but challenging enough for the training of elite athletes. With specifically cued breathing patterns, Pilates takes clients through movement sequences which strengthen and stretch. Pilates is all about attention and, as such, it does a phenomenal job helping people increase body awareness, improve balance and stamina, and find new solutions to old problems. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61172d7bdf44bb5ed4956a41/1630614688858-FJ2ORGGN4OMDQ56WS0HL/Caddy2.jpg What is Pilates? - Carrie Goodnight received her Pilates certification from The Kane School of Core Integration in New York City . “The Kane School Teacher Training program is an academic approach to the study of the Pilates Method.
