Pilates New York focuses on increasing strength, flexibility and body awareness without bulking up. Controlled movements are at the base of a Pilate's routine. Spring-resistant exercise equipment is specially designed for use and includes the Cadillac, Reformer, Ladder Barrel, Spine Corrector and Wunda Chair. Also mats and balls are used in this non aerobic form of exercise. Considered a resistant exercise those out of condition will notice an increase in their heart weight.
Spinal alignment and core muscle strength are the two key elements in Pilates New York. The muscles of the abdomen, hips, pelvis and spine loosely define your core muscle group. During a Pilate's session the instructor will get you to focus and concentrate on your core muscles. Breathing and muscle contraction are also key factors of your routine. The focus should be on quality of movement versus quantity. Spinal alignment and core muscle strength are the two key elements in Pilates New York.

Contrology is what Joseph Pilates called the coordination of the body, mind and spirit in his book, Pilates' Return to Life Through Contrology published in 1945. Pilates New York incorporates these principals in their Pilates programs.
