About

Pilates is a non-impact system of exercise which improves mental and physical well-being, increases flexibility, and strengthens muscles through controlled movements done as mat exercises or with equipment to tone and strengthen the body. Pilates focuses primarily on the deep muscles of the abdomen and spine (aka "the core"). This will stabilize the trunk and strengthen the back. At Core Mind & Body, we are devoted to teaching clients functional anatomy and movement enabling them to live full, active, healthy lives. Whether you are a novice looking to improve your tennis or golf game or a pilates devotee, this form of exercise eliminates stress on the joints and is effective for all ages and fitness levels.It is our pleasure to help clients transform their lives as they build confidence and enjoy moving and playing with freedom.

This is a baby-friendly class, so feel free to bring your little one.
