"FELDENKRAIS® MOVEMENT is not only for those with pain or injury. It helps the sensory and movement systems in your body work together more optimally. This improves coordination, wakes up your muscles and helps your body respond effectively to the demands you place on it. I personally began exploring Feldenkrais® in 1976 to enhance my ability as a professional dancer. It opened up my movement possibilities, helped me prevent injuries and gave me a healthier relationship to my body." - Ernie Adams

"PILATES is a method of exercise designed to stretch and strengthen your body in an intelligent way and engages your deepest core abdominal, lumbar, and pelvic floor muscles. Developing core strength gives you greater power and precision in movement and helps protect your body from injury." - Ernie Adams

HOW TO GET STRONGER WITHOUT GETTING HURT? New research demonstrates that just going to the gym, doing sit-ups, or pumping weights, will not necessarily give you the health benefits your are looking for. Like most things, it is how you do it that makes the difference. Many well intentioned people are throwing themselves into fitness programs only to get injured, drop-out, and become even less active. USER FRIENDLY PILATES can give you the opportunity to discover how to train with the proper awareness and mental focus to get fit without getting hurt.
