What is Pilates?
​
Pilates is a method of exercise that was developed by Joesph Pilates (1883-1967). Movements include mat exercises as well as a vast repertoire that is executed on pilates equipment. These machines provide spring tension that can be manipulated to provide either assistance or resistance. Pilates movements always begin with organization of the breath and core musculature. From this groundwork exercises emerge to strengthen, lengthen, and create balance within the client’s body.

What is the philosophy of Pilates for Heath?
​
Meghan and Janine are both Polestar certified instructors. This method of Pilates was developed by a physical therapist, and it places an emphasis on finding strength and mobility with a neutral spine as the foundation of these goals. This is advantageous for all bodies and a very important detail for a client who might be recovering from an injury.
The practitioners at PFH are highly skilled and attuned to the body in front of them, enabling the practioner to modify and progress each selected exercise as needed. This is not a one size fits all mindset! We strive to meet the needs of each unique client in order to facilitate a positive movement experience. It is not necessary to possess an existing level of physical fitness to begin your pilates experience at our studio. With the guidance of our practitioners you can start your journey towards better health one breath and movement at a time.
Meghan and Janine are always happy to connect with any physical therapists or medical experts that might be providing care for a student, as this can often enhance the design and trajectory of the pilates program by providing a more complete picture of rehabilitative needs and goals.
