Intelligent Movement/ Profound Results

At AlphaPilates we don’t just teach Pilates, we inspire self-discovery through movement and in so doing transform the body and mind. Physical fitness is one of the fundamentals of happiness. The Pilates method, called Contrology, transcends mere exercise by connecting your mind and body to work as one. As you flow through each movement you create strength, flexibility, and resilience. And when you become consciously aware of movement your mind and body harmonize so you feel fully alive.

The Eight Principles

Joseph Pilates is the visionary who birthed this art form through his passion, discipline, and unwavering belief in human potential. We honor his legacy by preserving the Classical Pilates method. Pilates designed his exercise program to support his philosophies, including concentration, precision, control, breathing and flowing movements. He called his system: “Contrology”. We follow his approach closely combining a focus on “body, mind and spirit” to achieve a more vigorous and active life.

Breathing

Pilates uses Lateral Thoracic Breathing. to take wide full breaths, filling the lungs and letting the ribcage expand.

Precision

Pilates’ precision principle, executing one exercise with deliberate exactitude is more important than completing more repetitions.

Alignment

Pilates works by aligning the body in a way that protects and supports the whole system of the bone structure and internal organs.

Awareness

One of the major results of Contrology is gaining the mastery of your mind over the complete control of your body.

Concentration

Pilates requires intense focus, as it is a bridge between awareness and movement.

Centering

Your center is your “Powerhouse”, which consists of your abdomen, lower back, and pelvis. In Pilates all moves originate from the Powerhouse.

Flow

Is often called ‘fluidity’ and it refers to the grace and ease Pilates exercises should be performed. There are no rigid or static moves in Pilates.

Control

Refers to having complete muscular control when completing each exercise.
