Our goal is to be your “one stop shop” for physical health, balance, and well being. Pilates is more complex than other forms of exercise. At Align, we combine east coast and west coast Pilates philosophies to teach you about breathing with movement, body mechanics, balance, coordination, spatial awareness, strength and flexibility.

Joseph Pilates originally developed this technique for rehabilitation of injured WWI soldiers.  Since then, Pilates has evolved into one of the best exercises for building and maintaining core strength and balance while creating a leaner, more aligned posture. Pilates uses a diverse series of exercises that range from mat work to specialized equipment utilizing a progressive spring system. With over 500 individual exercises, almost every part of the body can be strengthened, stretched and toned.      

Pilates is the most comprehensive, all-over body workout possible in a limited amount time. Few training programs incorporate stretching, strengthening, coordination, and proprioception (improvement of communication between the nerves and muscles) as effectively as the Pilates method.
