The Pilates Method

Control, from the inside out

Joseph Pilates called his work Contrology: a method for building complete control of the body, correcting the habits that pull it out of alignment.

Discover the method
i.

Strengthen

Build deep, balanced strength from the center outward.

ii.

Stabilize

Support the spine and joints through every movement.

iii.

Stretch

Lengthen muscles and restore ease and range of motion.

iv.

Align

Retrain posture so good habits carry into daily life.

Kind words
I love being instructed by Jenny. She’s attentive to detail and her cues are immediately understandable. My core has gotten immensely stronger and my movement has become more refined since working with her. Her workouts are a perfect adjunct to the weightlifting that I do.
