Founder/ Instructor
My name is Isabella Quarture. I founded The Heated Pilates studio two years ago, and have been loving every second of it. I graduated from Penn State University with a marketing degree, and a huge passion for health and wellness. I always dreamed of starting my own business, and this studio has made my dreams come true. I became certified in Pilates in 2020 and have been instructing ever since!
FAQs
1. WHAT IS PILATES?
Pilates is a full-body exercise system that uses a series of machines and exercises. It works the entire body, both the right and left sides, in unison. It focuses primarily on what Joseph Pilates called the "powerhouse" or the group of muscles that begins two inches below your navel, goes two inches above your navel and then wraps completely around your front and your back-kind of like a corset. It also includes your buttocks.
2. WHAT WOULD YOU SAY IS THE KEY DIFFERENCE BETWEEN YOGA AND PILATES?
There's definitely a mind-body connection and a very similar fluidity in both. But one difference is that there's a whole line of equipment in Pilates that doesn't exist in yoga, so it provides a different angle.
10. HOW OFTEN SHOULD I DO PILATES?
Pilates is safe enough to do every day. Initially you may want to do it every day so you become consistent; then a good goal is to do it every other day.
