Specialties

The Pilates exercise technique is a set of principles, corrective exercises, and specialized equipment which works the whole body in balance, coordinating the upper and lower musculature with the body's center. This dramatically improves your strength, flexibility, posture and coordination. Gyrotonic exercises employ movements found in swimming, yoga, gymnastics, and tai chi, using specialized machines developed by Horvath. The system is intended to improve flexibility and balance as well as muscle strength, and to increase overall flexibility and mobility in joints. It has been compared to and contrasted with Pilates but offers much more flexion.
