Madeline Black owner of Studio M is a internationlly recognized leader in the Pilates field.
Since it’s conception in the 1920’s by Joseph Pilates (pronounced Pi-LA-tees), this exercise system has been renowned for producing lean lithe physiques. Completely non-impact, this method speaks to the concerns of modern fitness integrating postural alignment, injury prevention, simultaneous muscular stretching and strengthening, correct breathing, and the ever elusive harmony of mind and body.
With over 30 original floor exercises with endless variations, and hundreds of different exercises performed on 5 primary pieces of equipment, the entire repertoire is variable enough for seniors, pregnant women, super fit athletes, yet safe enough to be utilized for injury rehabilitation.
Pilates style exercises focus on precision and control; minimal repetitions are performed with correct alignment which are powered by mental concentration and breath control.
A complimentary balance to ANY fitness regime.
