Pilates

Chaya Li Sharon teaching yoga Pilates inspired conditioning; alone or in conjunction with Yoga practice increases awareness, abdominal strength, control, muscular capacity, joint flexibility and the power of the body-mind connection. Routines can be adapted to be gentle enough for beginners or sophisticated enough to challenge the superfit. Joseph Pilates created his system from the integration of Yoga and ancient Greek and Roman regimes as well as western philosophies. It is a non-weight bearing system of physical conditioning that promotes mental and physical harmony. Exercises are performed at a low number of repetitions and muscles are strengthened without creating bulk, resulting in longer, more flexible and lean powerful bodies. Pilates, was originally developed for soldiers with spinal injuries and was later adapted as a training secret for dancers and athletes. It now attracts a more universal following interested in overall conditioning, healing and balancing as well as it's thoughtful approach to "working out".
