THE PHYSICAL FITNESS POWERHOUSE Teaching complete physical fitness and mindful movement, welcoming a strong, lean, healthy body, and a disciplined mind!
Foundation is one of the most important aspects of physical fitness. A foundation of understanding one’s own fitness level and goals in addition to the foundation of the program or type of exercise one utilizes is essential to success. Originally called Contrology, Joseph Pilates founded Pilates upon five main principles; “Contrology develops the body uniformly, corrects wrong postures, restores physical vitality, invigorates the mind, and elevates the spirit.” Origin Pilates remains true to these five principles as the basis for its foundation and builds upon the framework created by Joseph Pilates.
Origin Pilates emphasizes physical and mental growth and progress through natural body mechanics. This attention to natural body mechanics produces motion that is safe, energy conserving, and efficient, and allows the body to maintain stability throughout each exercise which improves postural integrity, strength, and mobility. With Origin Pilates, these same principles are naturally translated and applied to our daily activities, from simply maintaining the awareness of breathing patterns and posture, to applying proper muscle recruitment for enhanced athletic performance.
The benefit of Origin Pilates is the achievement of physical fitness via the complete integration of body, mind, and spirit, and building upon those foundations by introducing an array of athletically inspired sequences with variation and modifications tailored to each individual. This approach allows us to engage muscles that are typically dormant welcoming results that are seen physically and felt through increased mobility and body awareness. Through Pilates, we welcome proper fitness progression taking into account each individual’s starting point, their Origin, as they embark on a physical fitness journey that becomes a lifelong method to utilize for a healthy lifestyle.
