Pilates refers to a system of exercise developed by Joseph Pilates, intended to strengthen both the mind and the body.  The 6 fundamental principles on which his philosophy of movement are based are: centering, control, flow, breath, precision and concentration. The strength of the core of the body serves as the foundation for Pilates exercise. Pilates exercises are done either on a mat on the floor, referred to as Pilates mat work, or on specifically designed exercise equipment developed by Joseph Pilates.

Private and Duet sessions are currently full.

"Melissa makes a pilates class into an integrated whole body experience, including as she does very clear explanations and evocative images within a continuous flow of thoughtful, yet demanding exercises, melding the specific needs of each student present into something of value for all students present."
