Bringing Pilates to the work place.

It's true! Stress-related injuries and illnesses are increasing at an alarming rate.

Why? One reason is the increasing average workweek from 40 to 50 hours, or more. The average employee is assuming more and more responsibilities, while dealing with unprecedented challenges. All of this creates an alarming amount of stress on American workers.

The core conditioning exercises that define Pilates, will strengthen the muscles that support good posture. They will simultaneously restore flexibility and joint mobility.

All tension, both physical and mental, is stored somewhere in the body and true stress reduction is a matter of discovering how to release that tension on both levels.

Pilates programs directly address tension in both the body and the mind. Our classes remove stress from both sources since tension in one area has a direct effect on the other.

Pilates can help!

How? We specialize in combating stress with our customized corporate and organizational Pilates programs.
