Originally called “Contrology,” Pilates is a method of whole body exercise designed to improve daily activities and livelihood.

Though there is an emphasis on core work, core strength alone is not the end goal. Rather, using that core strength to develop functional and sustainable movement patterns throughout the body is the goal.

Created in the early 20th century by Joseph Pilates, the exercises coordinate movement and breath together to work the smaller and deeper stabilizing muscles of the body as much as your prime movers.

Pilates aligns your entire body’s overall structure and supports its joints. What appears to look simple can be deceptively challenging and incredibly effective when done correctly with good form. (HEALTHLINE, 2021)

One of the things we remind clients all the time is this:

Balance is a skill.
And skills can improve with practice. 💜

You don’t have to start with anything fancy either. Simple balance exercises done consistently can make a real difference in how you move and feel. Want to get started? Our Intro to Balance Small Groups meet the first Tuesday of each month at 10 AM!

Sit-to-stand exercises are important for us as we age because they can help with many aspects of daily life:

⭐️ Sit-to-stand exercises strengthen the lower body, especially the glutes and quadriceps, which can help with activities like standing up, sitting down, climbing stairs, and getting out of bed.

⭐️ Sit-to-stand exercises lead to improved balance can help reduce the risk of falls and injuries.

⭐️ Sit-to-stand exercises can increase flexibility and joint mobility in the hips, knees, and ankles, which can help seniors maintain an active lifestyle.

⭐️ Being able to easily stand up from a chair or sofa can help everyone maintain their independence and reduce the need for assistance.

Swan is one of the classic Pilates Mat exercises designed to strengthen the entire “back body” — helping improve posture, spinal mobility, upper back strength and the muscles that support you through everyday life.

When we take Swan to the Pilates Chair, the springs add both support and challenge. The resistance helps create length through the spine while also asking the body to work with more control, strength and connection.

Rachel makes it look graceful… but there is a lot happening here. ✨

At Rivercity Pilates, we love using the equipment to help clients experience familiar Pilates exercises in new ways.
