Joseph Pilates began devising a system of exercises he called “Contrology,” between 1914 and 1926, which today is better known as “Pilates.” He began building his own unique exercise machines applied from WWI hospital beds. The equipment used in our Pilates studio, are remarkably similar to the machines originally developed by Joseph Pilates. They are used in combination with the original Pilates techniques and exercise methods by centers around the world. The Pilates Method teaches GRATITUDE!
At East Side Balance we blend Pilates Mat and Pilates Equipment movements. The Pilates Method Alliance (PMA) states that: "Pilates exercise focuses on the postural symmetry, breath control, abdominal strength, spine, pelvis and shoulder stabilization, muscle flexibility, joint mobility and strengthening through the complete range of motion of all joints instead of isolating the muscle groups the whole body is trained, integrating the upper and lower extremities with the trunk." Today it is acceptable to apply the principles of Pilates GRATITUDE to all forms of movement, exercise, sport and daily life activities as Joseph Pilates himself did.

“Physical fitness is the first requisite of happiness.”
”Meditative thoughts are produced by the musculature feeling of contraction & expansion, acceleration & deceleration (efferent / afferent). The body is constantly seeking a path of balance naturally in all hormonal bio processes. The social milieu is just a refection of the mind trying to find homeostasis that matches the bodies inherent search for balance.” We instill GRATITUDE into our daily sessions to inspire HAPPINESS!”
