Hamptons Pilates and Personal Training

Thank you for visiting Hamptons Pilates.
Pilates (pronounced puh-LAH-teez) is an exercise technique invented in the 1920's by Joseph H. Pilates. As a child he had suffered with asthma, rickets, and rheumatic fever. Even as a young adolescent he made a life-altering decision to restore his own health. He studied the Eastern disciplines of yoga and martial arts and blended them with Western forms of physical activities such as bodybuilding, gymnastics, boxing, and recreational sports. At the age of fourteen years he had sculpted his physique so well that he was posing for anatomical charts. Years later he opened the very first Pilates studio in NYC where legendary dancers trained. Today, everyone enjoys the benefits of Pilates.

Pilates Mat is a unique method of exercise that involves controlled movements which focus on strengthening the "powerhouse" muscles of the body. The "powerhouse" consists of the abdominals, lower back, hips and butt. Pilates increases flexibility, strength, balance, coordination of movement and creates a mind/body connection without any equipment needed other than your body, an exercise mat and your willingness. Life out on the east end of Long Island can be a tranquil experience with the ocean or bay a few steps away. But stress and poor exercise habits can creep into our lives and destroy not only our bodies, but our peace of soul. Learn through my one on one sessions or small group classes that the physicality of the body when in harmony with the breathe and soul can be an amazing experience. I look forward to getting to know you!
