Our Pilates Wisdom: Words to Live By

At PILATES NEAR, we’re guided by the timeless wisdom of Pilates practitioners and our own experiences. Here are some thoughts to inspire your journey:

  • Two moves done right are better than ten moves made without thinking or without control:
    Quality over quantity is at the heart of our practice.
  • You will feel better after 10 hours, you will look better after 20 hours, you will have a brand new look after 30 hours:
    Consistency is key. Trust the process and watch your transformation unfold.
  • If your spine is weak and inflexible at the age of 30, you are old. If your spine is strong and flexible at 60, you are young:
    Age is just a number. Your health and vitality are what truly matter.
  • A good posture can be achieved successfully when the whole body is kept under control:
    We focus on full-body awareness and control for lasting results.
  • Pilates is the complete coordination of body, mind and soul:
    Our holistic approach nurtures not just your body, but your entire being.
  • Everyone is the architect of their own happiness:
    We empower you with the tools to build your best life.
  • Change happens through action, and action heals:
    Every session is an opportunity for positive change and healing.
  • A person is as young as their spine:
    Cultivate a healthy, flexible spine, and nurture your youthfulness.

We believe in the transformative power of Pilates. As Joseph Pilates himself said, “The whole country, the whole world should do my exercises. That way, people will be happier.” We’re here to bring that happiness and health to you, one session at a time.
