Pilates involves much more than stretching your limbs and contorting your body in odd positions - the healthful practice can help restore inner serenity for modern day career women and hurried, on-the-go moms. It's all about you at Centered, a pilates studio whose specialty is transforming post-natal figures into "hot mama" silhouettes by reviving the muscles that may have gone slack during the pregnancy period. Yet unlike other more fad driven pilates studios, Centered isn't just about achieving aesthetic bodily perfection. They offer nutritional counseling, a chill-out library, wellness workshops, and discussion groups - a combination of factors geared toward long-term self-preservation rather than a constant ping pong between toning yourself and lazing about. Though spa treatments remain a divine way to occasionally indulge yourself, owner Karrie Adamany and other members of Centered's staff will help you build a body and psyche strong enough to handle the rigors of everyday life - from changing diapers to chasing after the latest sale items at Barneys.
