Pilates In Kaliua, Hawaii

What is Pilates?

Developed in the 1920's by Joseph H. Pilates, the Pilates Method is a form of exercise, injury rehabilitation, and overall body conditioning that incorporates posture, breathing, flexibility, balance and strengthening. By focusing specifically on abdominal control, pelvic stabilization, and neutral spine – what Pilates calls the "powerhouse" – a person is taught to stabilize the trunk while moving the arms and legs freely. The result is improved strength, energy and flexibility, and correction of body imbalances and poor movement patterns. The goal of Pilates training, beyond slimming and strengthening, is to teach you to be confident and in control of your body and to use it to your greatest advantage.

Private Lessons

Are you looking to improve performance in your specific sport? Do you have an injury you are recovering from? Do you want to strengthen after having a baby? Private Pilates lessons may be most effective for you. In these 55 minute sessions you will receive one-on-one instruction from a certified Pilates instructor. Exercises will be based on your fitness level, injuries, goals and strengths. You will learn the basic principles of Pilates and how to apply them in different areas of your life. We can also create a customized home program for times you are away from the studio. We will use your strengths and what motivates you to develop your personalized Pilates program.
