Pilates Movement Therapy at Danielle McCulloch's studio focuses on the principles of Contrology - the original name for Pilates by founder Joseph Pilates. The practice is isotonic, meaning it combines strengthening and stretching simultaneously. Students are encouraged to work within their range and explore self-discovery through motion. The studio utilizes equipment by Balanced Body, including the reformer, chair, trapeze table, and props like balls and rollers to provide feedback and enhance the practice.
Clients at Danielle McCulloch's studio can expect a personalized and unique movement experience, tailored to their individual needs and goals. Each session is different, with a focus on centering, concentration, control, precision, breath, and flow. Through lateral learning and integration of the mind and body, clients can achieve a sense of fullness and aliveness in their movement practice.
