Best Pilates Classes in Mesa, AZ

Yes, there are several companies in which you can become certified. I completed a rigorous 500-hour program through Club Pilates and subsequently became nationally certified through the National Pilates Certification Program.

As with all exercises there are modifications and ranges within the exercises and apparatus, the benefit of one-on-one sessions is that I can keep you in alignment and if appropriate push you to go further.

Pilates was inspired by both eastern and western forms of exercise and wellness principles when developing this method of exercise so there are similarities. The breathing is different, in Pilates you scoop in the abdominal muscles and expand through the ribs as you inhale verses allowing your belly to expand (belly breathing) typically done in yoga. Pilates is also more dynamic, focusing on movement using pulleys and springs as resistance rather than holding poses as yoga dictates.

You can expect increases in flexibility, mobility, balance, improved posture, and overall strength; along with a decrease in back pain/other general body pains. Many clients report a reshaping of their body, elongation of their waistline and/or upper thigh region and weight loss when paired with a healthy diet and cardiovascular exercise.
