Pilates

 For many years, professional dancers and models have developed and enhanced grace and strength through physical training based on exercises developed by Joseph H. Pilates. Today, that same training is available to non-dancers through Classical Alignment™, a strengthening and lengthening movement series based on the teachings of Pilates Technique.

 Classical Alignment™ was developed by exercise physiologist and dance therapist Marie Artman, M. Ed. It is designed for the success of the non-dancer to improve his/her posture and re-educate the body to move with proper alignment and grace. Fitness enthusiasts are not the only ones enjoying the postural benefits of Pilates. Professional and casual sport athletes of golf, tennis, and equestrians are also finding improvement with their technique by studying this work.

 We offer Classical Alignment™ through Mastrianni & Associates, Inc. Marie Artman holds certifications in Pilates from Polestar Education, Physical Mind Institute, and has trained in London with renowned Pilates master Alan Herdman. She has presented Classical Alignment™ both at national and international conferences and is also well-known for her video Classical Alignment™.
