20+ YEARS OF PILATES EXPERTISE
Founded by Laura Wilson.
Natural Pilates was founded by veteran instructor Laura Wilson, a former Romanian national champion archer who came to the U.S. in 2002 and built her career around understanding how the body moves.
Her training includes Stott Pilates (2005), Gyrotonic (2008), Spin (2011), Vinyasa Yoga (2011), Resistance Training Specialist and Muscle Activation Technique Specialist (2012). Wilson developed the Natural Pilates approach by combining Pilates principles with her study of anatomy, biomechanics, resistance, muscular activation, exercise sequencing and form correction.
START MY 2 WEEK INTRO ›WHY THE NATURAL PILATES METHOD IS DIFFERENT
UNDERSTAND THE WHY BEHIND THE MOVEMENT.
The Natural Pilates method is built around more than completing repetitions. Programming, resistance, exercise order, muscular activation and instructor cues work together to help clients understand what they are doing and why.
BIOMECHANICS & MOVEMENT
Programming reflects an understanding of anatomy, movement patterns and the forces acting on the body.
MUSCULAR ACTIVATION
Exercise order, resistance and form cues are used to focus attention on the intended muscles and movement pattern.
FORM & INDIVIDUAL ATTENTION
Hands-on cues, corrections, repetitions and tension can be adjusted to help clients connect more precisely to the work.
CONTINUOUS LEARNING
The method emphasizes ongoing study of anatomy, biomechanics and individualized programming rather than a one-size-fits-all approach.
