PILATES WITH JIMMY RAYE
Welcome to the Jimmy Raye Pilates Studio located in Salem MA. The Pilates Method is a form of exercise based on the powerhouse of the body's physical center. It offers many benefits, including strengthening and stretching and emphasizes an alignment of the body that promotes healthy posture. Also, this can be done for a lifetime. "I added Pilates to my dance and teaching background because it is a form of exercise beneficial to everyone. My instruction is informative, individualized and taught with a sense of humor, utilizing a creative approach in understanding the movement of the exercise".
