Pilates Techniques - Our Approach

Pilates + Activation = The Riverside Pilates difference

1. Pilates: Stabilizes your body, creating dynamic tension in alignment

2. Activation: Restores the mind/body connection and syncs the body into a calm, focused state through reflex point pressure

Our three-fold approach to Pilates lets you: 

• Build confidence and presence through body awareness 
  Awareness includes alignment and the confidence to move in space and breathe diaphragmatically, creating calmness, clarity, and optimum performance for the whole body system. 

• Create a new relationship with your environment 
  We provide an individualized experience for each client, it is definitely not a cookie-cutter approach! 

• Explore movement in a deeper way
  We take an academic approach to the practice, bringing in knowledge from multiple disciplines, like somatic work, neurology, and bioenergy
  

• See what boredom-free fitness is like
  We are constantly changing up our exercise rotation, which creates new neurological patterns of movement within you and also keeps it fun and interesting.
