Pilates is a unique discipline designed to work from the inside-out. Focus is on core stability and quality of form and technique. Pilates workouts are diverse and are tailored to the individual. Our emphasis at YPP is to leave the body better than the way we found it! We stress the importance of the Pilates Apparatus to help keep the body aligned in a neutral position while gaining strength and flexibility. All Pilates equipment at YPP is made by either STOTT PILATES or Balanced Body. We offer 4 Reformers, 4 Cadillacs, 4 Stability Chairs, 4 Ladder Barrels, 3 Towers, 4 TRX Suspension Trainers, and 4 Indoor Cycles. We can train you on any of these pieces of equipment as a private session, as a duet with a spouse or a friend, or you may join a class on our schedule! We work with the 12 year old dancer, the post-surgical joint replacement client, the marathon athlete, the couch potato, and those 85 years young!
Egoscue Therapy Sessions are individual appointments with a Certified Therapist. Your sessions will begin with an evaluation of your posture, and an assessment to determine the cause of pain or lack of motion. We strive to educate clients that the body is a unit, and each muscle has a function. When a muscle loses its proper function, perhaps due to injury, tightness, or simple non-use, other muscles compensate to perform daily activities. Misalignment and pain will follow in time. Instead of chasing and treating symptoms, we look to the root of the dysfunction in your posture. We will then take you through Egoscue exercises to help eliminate the muscular compensations that are causing the pain. You will then receive an e-mail menu of exercises to be completed at home daily to help reinforce improved muscular patterns. New clients will meet with the Therapist over the coming months, each time being evaluated on progress that is made with the home menu of exercises, and will be given new menus at each visit. Clients should expect improvement in pain episodes and increased joint mobility as their bodies return to ideal neutral positioning. Visits may last 1-2 hours.
Many clients come to us through referral from Physicians, Holistic Practitioners, Physical Therapists, or through friends that have sent them in based on their own success with Egoscue and Pilates. When a client arrives in pain, we typically start with 2-3 Egoscue Sessions to reduce pain levels. Next, the client will visit our Egoscue Method Certified Massage Therapists for Connective Tissue Release, then will begin Pilates to help strengthen the new-found posture. This 3-pronged approach has been extremely successful for many to return to an active lifestyle.
As we are the only Certified Egoscue Therapists in the area, if in-studio appointments are not available, we can see clients with webcam video appointments.
