What is Authentic Pilates?
Imagine an exercise program that you look forward to, that engages you, and that leaves you refreshed and alert with a feeling of physical and mental well being. Authentic Pilates (pronounced puh-LAH-teez), a system of body conditioning, will do all this…and more. This exercise system, developed in the 1920s by the legendary physical trainer, Joseph H. Pilates, is focused on improving flexibility and strength throughout the body without building bulk. Authentic Pilates at Studio Body Logic® is not just exercise, however. It is a series of controlled movements engaging your body and mind, performed on specifically designed exercise apparatus and supervised by extensively trained teachers.
Founded by Karen Garcia in 1996, Studio Body Logic® was the first Authentic Pilates studio in Northern Virginia. Come study and learn the authentic work within SBL’s warm and friendly environment. You will get a workout!
What does Studio Body Logic offer?
Since 1996, Studio Body Logic’s® main focus has been Pilates! We offer five levels of Pilates group mat classes, private and semi-private Pilates apparatus classes, as well as our popular Introduction to Apparatus workshops using all the Authentic Pilates apparatus. Our goal for over fifteen years is to teach you what we know best – Pilates. Since 2009, Studio Body Logic has offered Barre Body® classes—our own method of barre classes, created by professional dancers and Pilates instructors who teach at SBL. We currently have four different types of Barre Body® classes, as well as Adult Ballet. We also offer a number of Evolved Sculpt and Stretch classes. We feel these classes offer a good addition to a student’s fitness program.
