pilates

Pilates is best described as a method of exercise that consists of low-impact flexibility and muscular strength and endurance movements. Pilates emphasizes proper postural alignment, core strength and muscle balance. Pilates is named for its creator, Joseph Pilates, who developed the exercises in the 1920s.

Pilates movements are often performed on a mat or on specialized equipment/apparatus. Lulu Elevate Pilates Studio proudly houses a fully equipped BASI System apparatus studio. BASI (Body Art and Sciences International) is the company founded and developed by Rael Isacowitz. With a reputation for innovation and academic excellence, BASI strives to provide the most comprehensive Pilates education and equipment available.

“Leslie’s command of this method, coupled with her exuberant personality and knowledge of human movement, promise that she will be a teacher of the highest caliber. I highly recommend Leslie without reservation.” -Rael Isacowitz, President of BASI.

SEMI-PRIVATES

These sessions are for the true Pilates enthusiast. With the clients having a clear understanding of the apparatus, the Pilates Principles, and the session format, this session can be the most explorative. This session can be between 2-4 clients, moving in a meditative flow receiving limited guidance from the instructor. Clients are expected to help disinfect the equipment and know their own goals and limitations in the session. These sessions are considered the most important in retaining the knowledge of Pilates and clients seem more likely to use this knowledge
in their own everyday lifestyle.
