Why don’t we play music at the Pilates Room?

Pilates was founded on six principles: concentration, control, centering, flow, precision and breath. Music can interfere with the subtlety of breath—the very foundation of your movement. In our studio, we’d prefer you to be able to concentrate on your inhales and exhales and feel the rise and fall of your chest. In a quiet space, you may begin to notice how your breath supports your spine, your core, your strength. That awareness is powerful.
