			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Welcome to The Pilates Method </strong></p>
<p>We are a Pilates Studio that specializes in The Pilates Method an innovative approach to exercise that has been evolving since the 1920′s. It unites the mind and body through a system of controlled, precise, yet flowing efficient exercises that target the deep intrinsic or postural muscles that provide the body’s underlying support. <strong>Pilates increases flexibility, strength, balance, lung capacity, endurance, bone density and energy while developing body awareness.</strong><strong></strong></p>
<p>We focus on each student as an individual with unique needs and pay detailed attention to helping each person achieve a mindful connection between their body and soul. The quality and precision of each exercise is essential and helps alleviate pain associated with postural problems, misalignments, sport specific injuries and imbalances. Pilates has proven itself invaluable not only as a fitness endeavor, but also as an important adjunct to professional sports training and physical rehabilitation of all kinds.</p>
<p>At Bend Pilates, we tailor every workout to meet your needs. We are committed to superior customer service, ongoing professional education and teaching Pilates at the highest level. We look forward to meeting you.</p>
