    The entrance is at 425 Pacific St. in Monterey. Our windows face Calle Principal, so you may have seen the sign from there.

  • WHAT ARE THE PILATES PRINCIPLES?

    1. Concentration: Maintaining a focused mind during exercises to improve body awareness and coordination. 

    2. Control: Precisely coordinating movements to engage the correct muscles and avoid injuries. 

    3. Centering: Engaging the core muscles (abdominals, obliques, and pelvic floor) to stabilize the body and improve posture. 

    4. Precision: Performing movements with accuracy and attention to detail to enhance muscle efficiency. 

    5. Breath: Using controlled, deep breathing to expand the rib cage, improve circulation, and engage the core. 

    6. Flow: Moving smoothly and rhythmically between exercises to create a graceful and efficient workout. 

    These principles are fundamental to the Pilates Method and ensure that exercises are performed safely, effectively, and with a holistic approach to mind-body connection.
