WHAT IS PILATES?
Pilates is an intelligent, full-body approach to exercise and body-conditioning, which gives you a leaner, suppler, more toned body and a calmer, more relaxed mind. It is done with a focus on breath, alignment, proper mechanics and is a series of fluid exercises performed on machines and mats. Christina teaches from a rehabilitative focus and uses props and modifications to support or challenge your body, depending on your needs.
