Mission
Whole Pilates is authentic, classical, “New York” style Pilates, “in our own back yard”.
The mission of Whole Pilates is three-fold:
The Pilates system of exercise serves to strengthen, stretch & balance the human body, mind & spirit. As Joseph Pilates originally presented it to his students, each exercise involves a mindful focus and precise approach and order. Whole Pilates first seeks to preserve and honor the original classical form of this system of physical and mental training, known as Classical Pilates, or “Contrology”.
We further look to promote and refine the development of the mind. As learned from classical Pilates Elder, Romana Krysanowska, the Five Aspects of the Mind are Intelligence, Intuition, Imagination, Memory, and Will. Whole Pilates, in addition to using the classical system, seeks to develop these aspects through tools such as biofeedback, meditations of imagery and focus, and games such as Journey to the Wild Divine and Wisdom Quest.
Lastly; a strong core is only valuable as it is consciously connected to the whole body. Whole Pilates seeks to connect and support the health of our local and global community by promoting complimentary products and services offered by our neighbors.
