Pilates is a system of repetitive exercises performed on a yoga mat or specialized equipment designed to improve strength, stability, and flexibility. These exercises focus on developing the body through muscular effort from the core, and cultivating awareness of the body to support efficient and graceful movement in everyday life. Originally developed by Joseph Pilates in the 1920s, the Pilates Method has gained popularity among dancers and a wide audience for its benefits. Advocates of Pilates emphasize its core-strengthening benefits, which can improve posture and balance. The technique targets the "powerhouse" muscles, such as the glutes, hips, pelvic floor, and lower back, and encourages deep, conscious breathing similar to yoga. Beyond rehabilitation settings, Pilates is also beneficial for fitness enthusiasts and elite athletes. It is a versatile practice that can help individuals of all ages and abilities achieve their goals, from rehabilitation to peak performance.

The goal of Neuropilates is to promote active mobility, improve brain, and body connections. By targeting the cerebrum, eye positions, and proprioception, Neuropilates aims to help individuals achieve greater control over their movements. This approach allows for individuality and emphasizes building fundamental human movement patterns while improving joint position and reflex stability. Through Neuropilates, we can learn that the brain and mind are unique for each person, and the practice is tailored to suit individual needs.

The NeuroPilates movements may resemble those of a regular mat Pilates or reformer class. However, this practice includes specific neurological exercises, such as eye positions and proprioception, to target the cerebellum. In NeuroPilates, we use techniques such as touch and visualization to improve joint position and promote "safe" movement. By incorporating these techniques, individuals can develop greater body awareness and control over their movements, leading to improved mobility and overall physical health.
