PILATES

is a whole-body system focused on core based training & Mindful Movement.

Our “core” consists of the deepest muscles that support our internal organs, stabilize our spine & pelvis, and keep us balanced & supported during motion.

Pilates exercises train several muscle groups at once in smooth, continuous movements.

By developing proper technique, you can actually retrain your body to move in safer, more efficient patterns of motion.

Many of the exercises are performed in reclined or sitting positions, and most are low impact and partially weight bearing.

Pilates is also an extremely flexible exercise system.  Modifications to the exercises allow for a range of difficulty from beginner to advanced.

Get the workout that best suits you now and increase the intensity as your body conditioning improves.

INTELLIGENT EXERCISE, PROFOUND RESULTS

STOTT PILATES is a contemporary approach to the original method pioneered by the late Joseph Pilates.

Lindsay and Moira Merrithew, along with a team of physical therapists, sports medicine and fitness professionals, have spent over three decades refining the acclaimed STOTT PILATES method of exercise.

The refined method results in the inclusion of modern principles of exercise science and rehabilitation  – making it one of the safest and most effective methods available.

STOTT PILATES is recognized as THE Professional’s Choice by studios, fitness facilities, fitness professionals and the consumer market worldwide.

CorAlign Pilates…

Pilates by Caroline

A little about myself…

After 30 years of enjoying an active lifestyle, I found myself with a half knee replacement at 44!  After a lengthy recovery, my body was out of shape and over compensating.  I had sub-optimal alignment and was in discomfort most of the time.  Luckily, I found Pilates.  After several years of practicing Pilates, I decided to take courses and became a STOTT PILATES Certified Instructor for both Mat and Reformer and a STOTT PILATES Trained Instructor for Cadillac.

It would be my pleasure to share my knowledge and enthusiasm for Pilates with you in my large, bright and private home studio.

My commitment to my clients is to provide professional, quality workouts that are customized to your abilities, needs and goals.

I will be continuously learning and developing my skills by participating in Continuing Education Workshops.

I look forward to meeting you.
