Philosophy

Mission Statement:  

Pilates Center of Chicago is a facility for physical culture, education and practice focusing on Pilates and functional movement training that emphasize posture, alignment and breath – we set the standard for quality instruction in the Chicago area.

Pilates Center of Chicago offers a classical, systematic and integrative approach to Pilates. We believe in teaching the original Pilates method, as developed by Joe Pilates, which involves use of the entire Pilates system and equipment in a sequence of movements intended to limber the spine and keep the body anatomically balanced.
