Core Power Pilates: Discover Pilates - breath, rhythm and flow.  You will learn from a Power Pilates perspective, the six principles of Pilates are the most essential qualities of the method.  You will understand these principles not by learning them intellectually, but by actualizing them physically.   

Stabilization
The primary goal of Pilates is to stabilize the pelvis in a neutral position.  Initiating movement from a stable source will increase the body's strength and efficiency, and restore it to its natural balance.

Control
The best results will come through controlling each movement and paying full attention to all details in positioning and sequencing.

Concentration
The mind controls the body.  Therefore, executing each exercise with the correct mindful intent and focusing on a deepening awareness of the movement makes concentration an integral part of the technique.

Flow
Pilates is best when done in a flowing style marked by continuous movement and engagement.  A workout which has flow - both within each exercise and between exercises - maximizes the time, efforts and results of each session.

Breath
For beginners, the only wrong breath is no breath.  Over time, you will gain a deeper understanding of how exhalation stimulates breathing, facilitates core support and intensifies movement.  In the end, breath equals life.

Precision

Pilates is rich with details.  Executing each exercise with correct technique and precision will provide more dramatic results.  It's all in the details. (precision)

Pilates is not just something you do; it is something you study.

What do I wear to do Core Power Pilates?  Keeping your attire simple, at least at first, will help you figure out what works best for you.  One exception however, is fitness attire that is too loose.  Baggy is a problem in both Pilates and Yoga classes as well because it can be too revealing and because an instructor needs to be able to see your alignment and muscle use.  The explosion of popularity of both disciplines has brought about a revolution in stylish exercise clothing.  It is much easier than it used to be to find not only interesting clothes, but options that are designed for a variety of body types and needs.  You can even find workout clothing made of antibacterial fabric or natural fibers, such as organic cotton and soy.  Shoes are not worn - going barefoot is common, however if you prefer something on your feet, sticky sock are great!  It is always a good idea to keep jewelry to a minimum when you workout.
