Our Unique Approach
Re-Balance Pilates respects the inherent fact that no human being is perfectly symmetrical nor can a person will themselves into perfect posture or alignment. However, we can teach people how to "re-balance" themselves so that they breath, move and posture ourselves more efficiently.
In order to have ideal movement, posture and alignment one must appreciate ALL systems of the body. That's why we teach Pilates instructors. physical therapists, and other movement professionals how to combine the concepts of the Postural Restoration Institute® with Pilates to get the best results for their clients.
​
The Re-Balance Pilates courses are inspired and influenced by the Postural Restoration Institute®, and its founder, Ron Hruska. Their groundbreaking work looking at the tri-planar, asymmetrical biomechanical framework of human function driven by the respiratory and nervous system, is introduced from a Pilates lens. We have worked together with the Postural Restoration Institute®, and have been granted permission to present introductory PRI® concepts within the Re-Balance Pilates coursework. If these courses stimulate further interest and a deeper understanding of the science of Postural Restoration® and its application, we would encourage you to explore the array of programs and courses offered by the Postural Restoration Institute®
