YOUR OW N SUCCESS

A B O U T P I L A T E S

Mr. Joseph Pilates, the inventor of Pilates, intended it to be about the art of control, an exercise method where you control your body, mind, and muscles.

Originally this form of exercise was called Contrology. The moves he designed focus on core muscles in the "powerhouse" (abs, pelvic floor, lower back), proper alignment of the spine, and awareness of breath.

The 34 mat exercises were designed to improve physical strength, flexibility, and posture, and enhance mental awareness.

Moves like 'The hundred, the roll-up, single-leg stretch, double-leg stretch are some of the original moves invented by Joseph back in the 1920's.

CONTROLOLOGY DEVELOPS THE BODY UNIFORMLY,CORRECTS WRONG POSTURES, RESTORES PHYSICAL VITALITY,

INVIGORATES THE MIND AND ELEVATES THE SPIRIT.

PILATES REFOR MER

The reformer was also invented by Pilates founder Joseph Pilates. It is a bed-like frame with a flat platform on it, called the carriage, which rolls back and forth on wheels within the frame.

Reformers parts are adjustable for differing body sizes and different levels of skill. A wide variety of exercises are done on the reformer to promote length, strength, flexibility, and balance.

Most Pilates reformer exercises involve pushing or pulling the carriage or holding the carriage steady during an exercise as it is pulled on by the springs.

Exercises can be done lying down, sitting, standing, pulling the straps, pushing the footbar, perched on the footbar, perched on the shoulder blocks, with additional equipment, upside down, sideways, and all kinds of variations. The reformer can train many parts and dynamics of the body in many different ways with just one relatively sleek piece of equipment.

We embrace the BASI approach using the highest quality BASI systems where each machine is hand crafted using environmentally friendly materials, combined with state-of-the-art science.

PILATES IS DESIGNED TO GIVE YOU SUPPLENESS, NATURAL GRACE, AND SKILL THAT WILL BE

UNMISTAKABLY REFLECTED IN THE WAY YOU WALK, IN THE WAY YOU PLAY, AND THE WAY YOU WORK.

T HE W U NDA CHAIR

The Pilates chair, also called the wunda chair or the low chair, is far from being a newcomer on the block. It has always been a part of any fully equipped Pilates studio, and was created by Joseph Pilates himself. Lately, the chairs have been getting a new look, moving into the mainstream and losing their status as one of the "mysterious" Pilates machines.

T HE C ADILL AC The Cadillac equipment is named after the convertible car because of the many elements that come with it: leg springs, fuzzy loops to hang from, a push-through bar to stretch you out, and even a trapeze. It's crafted from aircraft quality aluminum for smooth, quiet push-though bar movement & trapeze and spring setting.

The reformer offers all the benefits of Pilates including overall strength, flexibility, coordination, and balance.

These things, in turn, lead to daily life improvements like better posture, graceful and efficient movement, and for many, relief from pain associated with physical imbalances such as back pain.

The Pilates powerhouse muscles - the muscles of the core - are paramount for building strength.

Flat abs, strong backs, toned buttocks, and firm thighs are all results of this emphasis. Other equipment and Pilates mat exercises do that too, but the reformer creates a unique and varied exercise environment.

feel good LOOK GOOD F O O T R E F L E X O L O G YBENEFITS:The benefits of Reflexology have been recorded in Egypt, China, South America and India for over 4500 years.

Reflexology is a natural holistic treatment that works by activating and supporting the body’s natural healing mechanisms. Reflexology treats the entire person, body and mind.

The body’s internal organs, glands and systems are stimulated through a complex network of nerve endings found in the feet. Over time, congestion builds up in the form of uric acid (small, crunchy crystals) and tension where these nerves terminate.

Reflexology works by ‘manipulating’ pressure points to release tension and break down the crystalline deposits to stimulate a reflex through the nerve to a related organ, or gland in the body to facilitate a healing response.

F A C I A L R E F L E X T H E R A P Y J A P A N E S E C O S M O F A C E L I F T

Facial Reflex Therapy is rooted in oriental medicine combined with techniques used by South American Indians and up-to-date neurology. It assesses the underlying causes of health discomforts and addresses how these imbalances influence physical wellbeing.

The anatomy of our face is important due to its close location to the brain. Our five senses, located in the face, relay sensory information back to our brain, which is connected and stimulated by facial circulation and neural pathways.

Using only hands and oil/cream, the treatment uses precise stimulation of facial acupressure points, neurological points and body maps sending impulses through the body’s central nervous system to specific parts of the body.

The treatment is a neuro-sensorial procedure that accesses the 25 acupressure points of the face. Only organic products are used throughout the procedure.

Giving the face the equivalent of a gym workout, cosmo lifting is a natural non-surgical facelift that firms and tones the foundation muscles that support the facial structure.

The treatment lifts and strengthens the structure of the face and dramatically improves complexion by increasing blood flow and lymphatic drainage. It naturally increases the production of the skin’s building blocks - collagen and elastin - resulting in a firmer, younger looking face.

Japanese Cosmo Lifting can dramatically slow down the rate at which we appear to age and can prevent further deterioration well into our later years. The treatment has been described as a natural alternative to botox, giving younger looking skin naturally.

A deep massage that involves touch and pressure. Techniques include kneading and flowing movements to relieve tension and stress from the body.

Swedish massage includes circular pressure applied by the hands and palms, firm kneading, percussion-like tapping, vibrations, cupping, wringing and stroking. These relax tired muscles whilst encouraging the flow of blood and lymph that enhances skin tone.

Massage is ideal for specific physical problems such as muscle tension, tendon and ligament problems. It can be used to relax muscles after physical exertion or warm and loosen them before exercise. It is also a great mental and emotional stress reliever that leaves clients feeling refreshed and rejuvenated.

BENEFITS:Increase circulation

Relieve tension

Reduce stress

Relieve anxiety

Reiki is a gentle yet powerful form of healing with benefits felt on all levels.

As a natural healing system it can help everyone; from young babies to adults. It is a safe, non-invasive treatment and can be used with other complementary therapies or conventional medicine. Reiki can be given on a treatment couch or sitting in a chair, making it an easy treatment to receive.

Reiki helps the body to reach inner harmony physically, mentally and spiritually. As well as helping many physical ailments, it can also help change negative mental habits, turning these into more positive and productive thought patterns.
