“The flexibility of your spine defines your age. You can have an old spine in your 20’s if it isn’t flexible and be in your 60’s and be young with a flexible spine”

-Joseph Pilates

Pilates is a blend of low impact movement and breath that has a specific focus on body awareness, alignment, core and pelvic stability.

What can pilates do for you?

Pilates improves balance and coordination, strengthens your core (abdomen), increases your stability/joint range of motion. As we age our joints become stiff and painful causing difficulty with movement. Pilates exercises are Low Impact, Joint Friendly and Heart Healthy by not stressing the heart during movement.

Testimonials

As an avid pickleball player I wanted to strengthen my core muscles to improve my game, but all the hours spent at the gym were nonproductive. My pickleball game went nowhere and my frustration grew until I discovered CBL Pilates. JoAnn Pappas has a deep understanding of the body’s anatomy and muscle groups from her background in the medical profession. She customizes the exercise flow to meet my individual needs. Since I started with CBL Pilates my core muscles have strengthened and my pickleball game has improved. CBL continues to help me maintain my strength.

CBL Pilates has helped me to improve my strength, flexibility, and balance. I was hesitant to try CBL Pilates concerned my chronic joint disease would limit my ability to complete a workout. But thanks to her combined expertise in health and Pilates JoAnn Pappas was able to customize a workout that improved my strength and flexibility without stressing my joints. And my joint pain has lessened with each session.

I love Pilates classes with JoAnn! She covers all muscle groups with clear instruction of well thought out flows while paying close attention to my form and providing correction as needed. She is always mindful of my personal limitation (osteopenia) during class. JoAnn's knowledge of Pilates, along with her comprehension of nursing and health & fitness, are what make her an exceptional instructor.
