HI-PERFORMANCE PILATES OFF PROPERTY – Using Pilates Apparatus

Less than one mile from Waikiki Plantation Spa, Join Kareen in her studio, Equipped with top of the line Pilates Apparatus (including the Reformer, Cadillac, Combo Chair, Ladder Barrel, and Step Barrel), the studio is the first in Hawaii to feature the innovative Avalon Arm Chair, designed by Pilates Master Real Isacowitz, in collaboration with Balanced Body, manufacturer of the finest Pilates equipment available.

The Pilates method begins with mind control over muscles. Integrating the total being (body, mind and spirit), not only strengthens the muscles and improves flexibility and the functioning of vital organs, it also invigorates the mind and develops the will. Pilates apparatus utilizes springs and pulleys, along with your own body weight as resistance to work the entire body. It requires that your mind be clear, focused and present as each exercise is executed with coordinated breath and controlled and precise movements. Pilates reactivates thousands of muscle cells that have become dormant due to lack of consistent and proper exercise. The development of minor muscles help to strengthen major muscles, thus each muscle aids in the uniform development of all muscles. Careful attention is paid to form and alignment and the body is re-educated to correct imbalances, compensations and dysfunctional movement patterns. In every exercise, movement and energy stems from the core, or the “powerhouse”.  It is when the powerhouse is strong that the body can perform efficiently and effortlessly.
