Mara knows how a good Pilates program can positively impact your life.  "Pilates is a form of exercise that bridges physical therapy and personal training," she says.  "The program can be modified to address injury limitations, lack of bone density, osteoporosis, scoliosis...  It also can be ramped-up to address the needs of competitive and professional athletes. It is especially beneficial for athletes active in sports that are one-sided -- golf, skating and such -- because it enforces alignment in the body and makes the weaker side of the body work harder to keep up with the stronger side so everything works in unison, evening you out. Pilates is also great for rehabilitation of injury."
