I think of Pilates instruction as a class thoughtfully conceived in exercises rather than an exercise class.

The core work has made a noted difference and I’m really feeling that connectedness in my swing. The posture work has given me enormous advantage in giving me the space to get my arms through properly. Since starting the golf Pilates I have more awareness of weight shift which is crucial in getting the momentum needed to power the ball.

I have been taking Pilates since 2003. Although I’ve always enjoyed it because of how it makes me feel and look, I had previously felt frustrated by my inability to do many exercises. In only six months, Jane has helped me reach a new level. I can honestly say that I look forward to every class. I enjoy the serenity of the studio, the variety that Jane incorporates into each class, her extensive knowledge, the individual attention that everyone in a group class receives, and her easygoing demeanor.

ABSolute Pilates was recommended to me because of Jane’s professional background in physical therapy and her expertise with the Pilates method. I was looking for an exercise program that could increase my core strength without adding to existing disk issues in my lower back. I was surprised to discover that after only 2 or 3 visits, I felt an immediate improvement in my posture and, best of all, a decrease in my chronic low back pain. Working with Jane in the studio and practicing Pilates at home have increased my trunk strength, improved my flexibility and balance and have decreased the intensity and the frequency of my low back pain.

After almost two years with ABSolute Pilates I can say that this is a decision that has changed my life. I have never been able to warm up to the packed in like sweaty sardines, gym atmosphere with TVs blaring in the background. So finding an exercise routine that is changing, allows flexible class choices and scheduling, in a quiet and beautiful atmosphere has been a real gift. Through the excellent and personalized instruction, I have found relief from lower back pain and improved my posture and overall tone. I plan to continue with my committment to Pilates for long time to come.
