The Pilates Method
The Pilates Method of body conditioning is a unique system of stretching and strengthening exercises developed over ninety years ago by Joseph H. Pilates. By exercising the “Pilates Way” core muscles are activated and strengthened. The body and mind begin to work together. It’s an intense, ongoing challenge blending Eastern and Western philosophies of physical and mental conditioning.
What does this mean for you? The Pilates Method gives you the stretching benefits of a yoga class along with the great muscle tone of a work out with weights.
This discipline focuses on muscular harmony and balance; it’s a whole new way to get your body moving.

Testimonials
“We decided for my daughter Alecia, a 16 year old high level ice skater, to take Pilates primarily to train and transition her from physical therapy back to the ice.
We have been extremely pleased in the excellent instruction given with precision and detail. Her sessions were tailored to her new abilities and improving status. Nancy’s teaching was critical to helping her regain core strength and proper posture while performing dynamic movement.
Our experience with both Bonnie and Nancy was professional, compassionate and informative. Thank you Bodies by Bonnie!”
