Pilates

What is Pilates?

Created by Joseph Pilates, this system of exercises was designed to work the deep core muscles of the body in order to enhance performance in daily life and athletics. It can flatten your abs, shape your buttocks and legs, increase strength, invigorate the mind and improve posture, balance and coordination.

We offer a variety of Pilates options that will help you reach your wellness goals. At Haven on the Lake, you will find a quality of classical instruction, unequaled anywhere else, available in group, small group or private settings.

Pilates Privates and Duets Class Descriptions

PILATES REFORMER (Private or Duet) The Reformer, the most popular piece of equipment, is one of Joseph Pilates’ original inventions. He believed beginning exercise in the horizontal plane was important to relieve the stress and strain on joints and to align the body before adding additional gravitational forces through the central axis while standing, sitting or kneeling.

REFORMER GROUPS In a group setting, apply the Pilates methodology as performed on the Reformer and challenge yourself as you lengthen and strengthen your entire body working with the spring resistance on a movable surface. Classes are offered in different levels.

MAT Improve flexibility, build strength, develop control, endurance, and a strong core while performing the series of exercises created by Joseph Pilates on a mat.

MAT TOWER Stretch and strengthen your body while working on the Pilates Mat and attached Tower. The Tower has arm and leg springs for lengthening the body and bars to add resistance. You will feel stronger and longer after every class.
