Physical fitness is the first requisite of happiness.
  -  Joseph H. Pilates

 
Hello! My name is Cara Krupa. I am a Stott certified Pilates Instructor and owner of East Street Pilates. I first came to Pilates in 1996 and loved it immediately after seeing the changes it made in my own level of fitness and health.

I have studied Pilates at highly acclaimed training centers in Philadelphia, Toronto, and, locally, in West Bloomfield. My studies included specialized training in prenatal and postnatal Pilates, rehabilitative Pilates and specific programs for athletes and dancers. I am a graduate of Central Michigan University and have been teaching Pilates in Rochester since 2002. My classes include work on the mat, stability chair and reformer, and incorporate use of the fitball, toning balls, therabands, fitness circle and foam roller.

I feel passionate about sharing Pilates with my clients in a non-intimidating, relaxed environment and helping them reach new levels of strength and flexibility. I am thrilled to be a part of the downtown Rochester community, and I invite you to drop into the studio anytime to have a look around, get acquainted and ask any questions you may have. I look forward to seeing you!

THE PILATES METHOD

The Pilates Method is a total body-conditioning workout for both men and women consisting of a series of more than 500 specifically designed, low-impact, controlled movements engaging the body and mind.  Emphasizing correct breathing and body alignment, The Pilates Method uses the abdomen, lower back and buttocks as the "powerhouse", enabling the rest of the body to move freely.  The goal is to develop a high degree of abdominal strength, better posture, stability, greater flexibility of the spine and limbs while combining the power of mind and body.  Pilates can help reduce lower back pain, prevent injury, speed up recovery, shrink waist lines and improve high blood pressure, depression and osteoporosis.  Pilates has been highly recommended by physical therapists, chiropractors, orthopedic surgeons, and rehabilitation specialists for the greater health and productivity of the physical body.

Stretch it out......

Stretch class at East Street Pilates begins with a full-body 15 minute warm-up to get the blood pumping and the muscles ready for deep stretching.  We flow immediately into 40 minutes of both self-stretching and assisted deep stretching, respecting your body’s limits while working towards increased flexibility.  Stretching the muscles is an integral part of achieving the long, lean look that Pilates is famous for.  This class is a great opportunity to check in with your body on a weekly basis and is an excellent complement to your Pilates practice.  Join us on Monday mornings at 11am or Wednesdays at 5:30pm for this wonderfully invigorating and restorative class, and get your week started off right.  Call or email the studio to schedule this hour for yourself and let your body achieve it’s full potential!
