The practice is a system of exercises using special apparatus designed to improve physical strength, flexibility and posture and enhance mental awareness. Classical Pilates focuses on a systematic approach to conditioning the body. It is a safe and corrective form of movement focusing on a series of mat exercises and exercises with various pieces of apparatus such as the Reformer, Wunda Chair, Cadillac, High Chair, Ladder Barrel, and Tower/Wall unit.

Body-Mind Connection
A Breath-Based Studio
Breath and movement should go hand in hand. At Urban Body San Jose, you will learn to breathe and stimulate your nervous system in a way that will make you healthier and a more powerful and happy human being.
Classical Pilates and GYROTONIC® training not only make you physically fit and strong, but also mentally strong as the work requires you to be present for the ultimate body-mind connection to bring balance, health and wellness to your life. Diaphragmatic breathing during exercise targets the deep, inner body, thus addressing your strength and health from the inside out, which is a profoundly deeper experience in all aspects of life and enhances the body you live in.
