Pilates

Pilates is a versatile, low-impact exercise that aims to strengthen muscles while improving postural alignment and flexibility. Focus is on core strength and integration to support stability, mobility and balance throughout the entire body. This can be achieved through mat exercises using various props and also on specialized equipment such as the Pilates Reformer that uses spring resistance enabling the body to work from the core. Pilates evolved from the principles of Joseph Pilates: concentration, control, center, flow, precision and breath.

Kate is a certified Balanced Body Pilates comprehensive Instructor (2012). She teaches weekly Pilates Reformer classes at Peace of Mind Pilates in Essex, VT. View Class Schedule
