The teachers and students at Moving Breath believe in integrating movement into their lives on a daily basis and aspiring to higher levels of fitness for a greater quality of life.

Joseph Pilates believed that his method of movement would prepare people for any type of activity they wished to accomplish. He himself was a gymnast, boxer, yogi, circus performer, diver, and skier. He battled Asthma, Rickets, and Rheumatic fever and brought himself to abundant health through use of various pieces of equipment that he invented for this purpose. He focused on the principles of precision in movement, control, coordination, concentration, centering, and flowing motion in order to accomplish this.

Our goal at Moving Breath is to carry on Pilates work by incorporating these principles to help you achieve your movement goal, whether it is rehabilitative, supportive, or elite.
