Maybe you’ve thought about trying Pilates, but think it might be too difficult or you’re not quite sure what it is. Certified Pilates Instructors from Verve look forward to introducing you to this body-transforming exercise practice in a private introductory session. No matter what your age or condition,it will work for you.

What is Pilates? An innovative system of mind-body exercise evolved from the principles of Joseph Pilates. After years of studying body building, diving and gymnastics, Joseph Pilates was interred to serve in the British military during WWII. During this time, he began intensively developing his concept of an integrated, comprehensive system of physical exercise, which he called “Contrology”. He studied yoga and the movements of animals and trained his fellow inmates in fitness and exercises. In order to rehabilitate wounded soldiers, he attached springs and straps to their beds to facilitate movement of non-injured body parts. His method related to encouraging the use of the mind to control muscles. It focuses attention on core postural muscles that help keep the human body balanced and provide support for the spine. In particular, Pilates exercises teach awareness of breath and of alignment of the spine, and strengthen the deep torso and abdominal muscles. It teaches body awareness, good posture and easy, graceful movement. Pilates improves flexibility, agility and economy of motion. It can even help alleviate back, shoulder and neck pain.

Pilates dramatically transforms the way your body looks, feels and performs. It builds strength without excess bulk, creating a sleek, toned body with slender thighs and a flat abdomen. Pilates is an exercise method that can be practiced by anybody of any fitness level. Remember, Joseph Pilates developed the system on injured soldiers. Their practice helped them to recover quickly and gain mobility and strength far faster than their sedentary bunk mates.

Professional dancers have known the benefits of Pilates for decades. Top athletes use it for strength, flexibility and injury prevention. Hollywood celebrities and supermodels use it to maintain beautiful physiques. More importantly, Pilates is often recommended for people with chronic neck, shoulder and back pain as part of their Physical Therapy. Pilates is a gentle, safe, sensible exercise system using a floor mat or equipment, that will help you look and feel your best. Consistent, committed practice will help you achieve your wellness goals and allow you to look and feel your best!

Micaiah

For those of you that have yet to meet me, my name is Micaiah and I have been the Nail Specialists here at Verve Wellness since March. Even before the Salon portion opened the beginning of June, I was providing my services and expertise to guests and members of the Spa & Wellness Center to enhance and strengthen nails naturally. I specialize in natural nail services specifically because I feel too much attention is placed on the physical appearance of the nails and not the actual condition or state the nails are in. Therefore I offer services unlike any other by assessing, treating, and caring for each individuals nailcare needs.
