What is Pilates?

Pilates is a mind-body movement system, and every Pilates exercise is a whole-body exercise. Developed by Joseph Pilates in the early 1900s and now practiced around the world, Pilates stands the test of time because it works to transform body and mind. By regularly performing Pilates exercises under the supervision of a qualified instructor, you can expect to feel stronger, move more freely, and have more energy in your daily life.

From Corrie McCrea Nahimi

Hej! My name is Corrie McCrea Nahimi and I’m the founder of Pilates Lund. I’ve been teaching Pilates for nearly 20 years, and I’m so excited to bring individual and small group Pilates instruction to Lund C!

I’m a graduate of Northwestern University’s theatre program and completed my comprehensive Pilates certification through Body Arts and Sciences International (BASI). I’ve worked extensively with special populations including pregnant and post-natal women, athletes and performers, and those rehabilitating from injury or surgery. I am versed in both classical and contemporary Pilates, and my teaching is grounded in the fundamentals of classical Pilates principles and choreography, while embracing Joseph Pilates’ spirit of innovation. I believe that the client’s individual needs should always guide every Pilates session.

My own personal Pilates practice has helped me immeasurably over the years. From getting me fit for performing, to preparing me for childbirth and postpartum recovery, to rehabilitation after injury, and even in grief, Pilates has been the most effective tool I have found to help me stay strong and connected to my body throughout all that life can bring. It’s an honor to be able to offer this tool to others.

I look forward to seeing your Pilates transformation!
