About Our Pilates Approach
At Pleasing Pilates, we believe Pilates is more than just exercise, it’s a mindful practice that connects body and mind. Our approach blends the enduring principles of traditional Pilates with a contemporary, mindful focus on body awareness. We focus on quality over quantity, crafting every session with intention and care to meet your individual needs.
Our Key Elements Include:
Customized workouts designed just for you
Emphasis on improving posture, core strength, and overall alignment
Gentle yet highly effective techniques that respect your body’s limits
A private, distraction-free environment that encourages focus and relaxation
By focusing on these core principles, we ensure that every movement supports your long-term wellness and helps you achieve sustainable results.
Teaching Philosophy & Approach
At Pleasing Pilates, our teaching style is centered around precision, presence, and personalization.
-
We focus on the details of body alignment, especially the neutral alignment of the trunk, from pelvis to shoulders
-
Each session is a balance of technical guidance and intuitive flow, with verbal cues tailored and constantly refined to help you perfect your form
-
Breathing is intentional: we emphasize inhaling through the nose and exhaling through the mouth, using abdominal muscles to fully "push out" the breath
-
Every session is adapted to your energy level and physical condition that day, ensuring you leave feeling better than when you arrived
-
Your goals are integrated with your body’s alignment needs. We want you to leave feeling you got a great workout, improved posture, and broke some old movement habits
