Principles of Pilates

There are 6 Fundamental Principles of Pilates, they are:
Concentration and Awareness
Moving from Center
Precision and Control
Flowing Natural Movement
Oppositional Energy
Healthy Breathing
As you follow these Principles you will be able to achieve the fundamental Pilates Goals of uniformed development, flexibility and decompression of spine and joints, improved circulation, proper breathing, and trinity of the body/mind/spirit connection. This will enable you to do the things that you love to do faster, better and longer.

The Value of Private Pilates Training

Private training programs are designed just for you. Over time, day-to-day lifestyles, sports and injuries create muscle imbalances, compression and wear on joints, and lead to increased occurrence of injuries. Pilates will re-establish good patterns of movement, tone and balance the body while preventing negative side effects that come through many exercise regimes. When you participate in a private Pilates training program, that is designed especially for you, you'll start to see these results faster.

The Ultimate Cross-Training, Pilates helps to strengthen athletes while keeping them injury free. Pilates training is a key form of exercise practiced by professional athletes of sports like Football, Golf, Tennis, Swimming, Horseback Riding and Triathlons. A consistent practice of Pilates will help rehabilitation of injuries, prevent future sport and other injuries, improve performance, and maintain longevity in the sports that you love.

A certified instructor has a trained eye; focusing solely on your body's individual needs. An instructor is able to notice subtle, inefficient movement patterns then can give you specific instructions to make the exercises more effective for you. Private Pilates sessions, even taken irregularly along with Group Mat sessions, can serve as "touchups" helping you to continue to get the most out of your Pilates training program.

Private sessions scheduling is generally more flexible, with times available from 5am-9pm. With Personal sessions you are more likely to stay on track with your fitness program simply because you know that your instructor is expecting you, where as with a group class you may feel more inclined to skip because "no one will notice." If you will only taking private sessions it is best to plan on scheduling 1-3 times per week depending on your needs, time and financial situation. At the least, it is recommended that you begin your Pilates training with a few weeks of private sessions, before moving into group classes, to ensure a solid fundamental base and understanding of how Pilates works.

Types of Muscle Contractions

There are 3 main types of skeletal muscle contractions: concentric, eccentric, and isometric.
Concentric contractions: This type is what people generally think of as a muscle contraction. The muscle shortens as it contracts (bicep curl).
Eccentric contractions: This occurs when the muscle fibers lengthen as they contract (controlled lowering of an object).
Isometric contractions: The muscle length stays the same when contracted (holding a weight out at arms length)
Total muscle strength is increase, and injury levels decreased when all forms of contraction are used in a fitness regime. Unlike other forms of exercise, which generally focus on one or two forms of muscle contraction (i.e. weight lifting, running, and throwing a ball) Pilates incorporates all forms of muscle movement and contractions.

Who’s Joe?

Joseph Pilates was born in Germany in 1880. A sickly child, Joseph determined to build his physical strength and stamina at a young age. By the time he was 14, Joseph was in such prime condition that he was used as a model for anatomical charts. As a self-taught athlete, Joseph enjoyed skiing, diving, gymnastics, and boxing.

In 1912, Joe was in England when World War I broke out. He was placed in an internment camp for enemy aliens in England. While there Joseph began teaching fellow internees his exercises and helping in the camp’s hospital, helping bed ridden patients. Joe added adaptations like pulleys, straps, and springs to the beds to assist the people he worked with. These adapted beds where the beginning of his Machines and Equipment pieces.

After the war, Joe returned to Germany. He was hired as a trainer for the Hamburg Military Police. Many of important innovators worked with Joseph during this time, and his fame began to grow. By 1925, he was asked by the German government to train the new German Army, realizing the changing atmosphere of Germany, Joseph fled to America.

On the ship to America Joseph met Clara, who he married. They opened a studio in New York City in 1926. The studio shared a building with many New York dance organizations. Dancers began to discover the benefits of Pilates training techniques for both fitness and rehabilitation. Joseph fame also drew many of the city’s richest and most famous people.

Pilates called his exercise method “Contrology”, the science of control. He taught in his studio through the late 1960’s. In 1966, a fire broke out in the building, when Joseph went back to inspect his storage room for damage, the floor broke out from underneath him. Joe fell, but was able to catch himself on a floor beam and pull himself out of danger; he was nearly 86 at the time. Joe maintained his health and strength until the end of his life. Unfortunately, he died the next year at age 87 possibly caused from complications due to smoke inhalation during the fire.

Joe’s wife Clara continued to run the studio after his death. In 1971, Clara turned the studio over to a longtime student, Romana Kryzanowska. Clara passed away in 1977.

"Patience and persistence are vital qualities in the ultimate successful accomplishment of any worthwhile endeavor."
