PRESENTED BY MARY JANE’S PILATES STUDIO

What are three words that perfectly capture the essence of Pilates?

“Strength, Stretch, and Control”

Pilates is a wonderful practice for those eager to enhance their flexibility, refine their posture, and embark on a journey of strength training, especially in the core area.

Pilates vs. yoga? Both boost flexibility and breath, but they’re distinct. Yoga blends spirituality with strength, building from the feet up. Pilates focuses on biomechanics, starting with deep core muscles to stabilize and align the spine. Its precise movements enhance strength, joint stability, and muscle length, offering a tailored workout. While yoga improves flexibility and lung capacity, Pilates sharpens overall body control, making it a perfect complement.

Whether you’re new or experienced, Pilates delivers results, elevating your fitness and even your yoga practice. Ready to feel stronger and more aligned?
