About Soma

In Greek, there is a word, soma, meaning body. Unlike the word body in English, which implies something that is observed from the outside, Soma refers to how we sense the unfolding of ourselves from within. Now imagine yourself experiencing healing from deep inside and watching this change radiate outward, expressing itself through body, mind and spirit. Welcome, to Soma Pilates.

The adage of “healthy body, healthy mind” is as true today as it has always been. In 1945, Joseph H. Pilates wrote: “Physical fitness is the first requisite of happiness…the attainment and maintenance of a uniformly developed body with a sound mind fully  capable of naturally, easily and satisfactorily performing our many and varied tasks with spontaneous zest and pleasure.” Through its holistic approach, the Pilates method targets the interior structure of the body to bring benefits to the outside.
