Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
All pilates sessions at Symmetry Pilates Studio are designed around your specific body, needs and goals. Using special Pilates apparatus, adjunct equipment and Pilates-based matwork, the sessions focus on strengthening the pelvic, abdominal and back muscles from the core. Alignment and constant elongation of the muscles make a remarkable change in your body. A change that ranges from elegant posture and body awareness to abdominal strength and flexibility, stamina, confidence, and mental focus. Pilates is appropriate no matter what your age or fitness level and can be especially therapeutic for those recovering from orthopedic injuries.
