PILATES + a Mindful BODY

Pilates + MELT®

 

Pilates:

Pilates is a series of non-impact exercises designed by Joseph Pilates to develop strength, flexibility, balance, and inner awareness.  Pilates can be practiced on the mat with out without small props and on various apparatus including the reformer, cadillac, chair, and barrels.  

 

It is a form of strength and flexibility training that can be done by all regardless of level of fitness or age.  The exercises can be adapted for people who are injured or have a limited range of movement.  

 

Pilates promotes a feeling of physical and mental well-being and develops inner physical awareness.  There are 6 key principles of Pilates;

• Focus

• Balance

• Concentration

• Breath

• Flow

• Precision.  

 

Through the method and these principles Pilates strengthens and lengthens the muscles without creating bulk.  Pilates also improves posture and balance, increases flexibility, circulation and is helpful in preventing and rehabilitating from injuries.  

 

"In 10 sessions you will feel better, in 20 sessions you will look better and by 30 sessions you will have a whole new body." - Joseph Pilates

 

MELT®:

The MELT Method® (MELT®) is a simple self-treatment that reduces chronic pain and helps you stay healthy, youthful, and active for a lifetime. Just 10 minutes of MELT three times a week is all you need to begin reducing the effects of accumulated tension and stress caused by daily living.

 

New research has revealed the missing link to pain-free living: a balanced nervous system and healthy connective tissue. These two components work together to provide your body support and optimal mind-body communication. MELT directly addresses these two systems of your body in a way no other self-treatment can, including diet and exercise. You’ll see and feel results in the first session. The ultimate goal of MELT is to improve your body’s ability to restore balance and repair itself, which can create remarkable, lasting changes. MELT offers natural pain relief, allowing you to address the true cause of chronic pain, not just mask the symptoms.
