What is The Pilates Method?
The Pilates Method is a combination of muscle toning and strengthening exercises with an emphasis on flexibility and relaxation. This mind-body method of exercise builds strong abdominals, improves posture and coordination, and builds long lean muscles.
We have inherited different body shapes and postural tendencies and these cannot be changed overnight. However, the Pilates Method is highly effective in realigning the body and addressing postural weaknesses by targeting the small postural muscles on both sides of the spine. Strengthening the postural muscles will help support the larger muscles and bring the spine and the body into balance.
Meet Colleen, Founder of Pilates on the Ball
Colleen Craig is a Certified Stott Pilates® Trainer and a writer who developed a unique body conditioning technique by adapting the Pilates Method to the exercise ball.
Colleen uses large and small exercise balls to add resistance, challenge and balance training to the mat-work. Recently, she completed a Body Harmonics® Active Aging Specialist Certificate and now focuses on teaching online Pilates to older adults.
Colleen has documented her innovative work in a written blog, complete with short videos, called Adapting Pilates for Our Longer Lives.

“An excellent class. Colleen is an amazing teacher. Pacing and instructions is bang-on. Colleen shows just the right amount of technique and moves on to a more/less challenging exercise so it really is multi-level. Online visuals were perfect, it was all very clear.”
