Winsor Pilates

The Pilates method of body conditioning reawakens and stimulates brain cells, stimulating further the functioning of the mind.

-Joseph Pilates

The Pilates method was invented in the early part of the 20th century by German athlete Joseph Pilates, who designed a series of mat exercises to help balance the body, improve motion, strengthen, and promote mental and physical harmony. He originally named his technique the art of controlology, control being one of the most important aspects of Pilates. The exercises Pilates developed require intense concentration and centered on a strong abdomen, deep stretching, and focused breathing.

For many years, the method was the premiere exercise technique of the dance world. Notables such as George Balanchine, Martha Graham and Suzanne Farrell frequented the original New York Studio set up by Pilates.

 

About Lindsey
Inspired by her Mother’s continual battle with breast cancer, Lindsey focused her life on sports training and nutrition with a specific focus on what she calls ‘integrated pilates’ – an approach that is more than just pilates. It is a combination of core strengthening exercises, deep tissue work as well as stretches, plus a hybrid of organic eating and lifestyle choices.
