What is Rhythm Pilates?

 

Rhythm Pilates is an exciting fusion of study and disciplines that expands on the traditional Pilates method by incorporating more fluid transitions into whole body integrated movement art workout sequences choreographed to music. Rhythm Pilates is an exciting and evolutionary approach to the mat work incorporating Pilates, Yoga and Dance. Coordinating the original six Pilates principles and highlighting the elements of rhythm and flow, Rhythm Pilates transforms static movements, creating a series of 30-minute movement art workout combinations. The routines vary in levels and complexity, from the beginning level, to the intermediate and developing to the advanced level work. The sequencing is thoughtfully created to target the whole body, intelligently working to biomechanically prepare the mind, muscles, joints, and tissues and engage the positive spirit.

Developed by Lisa Hubbard, an Associate Faculty Member for the world renowned BASI Pilates®, the goals of Rhythm Pilates are threefold:

1. To increase the enjoyment of Pilates without diluting the true form of the method or sacrificing the intensity and focus of the work.

2. To take traditional mat Pilates in an evolutionary process.

3. To incorporate differing modalities for an enhanced experience.

A few example workouts

“Rhythm Pilates is a thoughtful way at how you go from beginning to end. It is not simply exercise after exercise, but rather a choreographed pathway that takes your body through one experience to the next in logical and artistic avenues of movement and energy.”

- Livi Kerszenbaum, RP Author and Model

“Music changes the way we move by offering a kind of support that words and knowledge can't provide. In the Pilates and GYROTONIC® worlds today, new musical formats are sprouting up and giving us all a chance to reach a different place in our practice.”
