About the Studio

Sol Pilates & Yoga has been providing both mat-based and equipment-based pilates training to the Markham community (Unionville, Cornell, Stouffville) since 2005. Sol Pilates professionals offer rehab, pilates programming and yoga therapy for healthy and special populations, and bring programs focused on posture to schools and corporate/workplace settings. Sol Pilates studio programs are geared to individuals and small groups to provide clients with access to individualized programming and cueing for specific postures and conditions.

Sol Pilates private training is based on the Stott Pilates method which emphasizes programming and modifications that increasingly challenge the muscles, enhance performance in sports, and rehabilitates through injury-specific and postural-specific programming.

Sol Fit is our group fitness studio offering pilates and pilates-inspired fitness programs. Sol Fit is located on the southeast corner of McCowan and Highway 7.

Sol Wellness details information on wellness offerings including TCM, physiotherapy, osteopathy, acupuncture, fertility yoga, massage therapy, hot stone massage, and naturopathic medicine.

What Is Pilates?

Pilates is a training system focused on posture, alignment and balance. Using specially designed spring resistance-based equipment and specialized mat exercises, you will develop core strength and postural awareness. The first emphasis is on building a strong, supported, yet flexible spine, and becoming aware of and strengthening core muscles that support the pelvis and shoulders. Gradually the entire body is challenged to connect into this strength, and the whole body becomes more integrated and stronger and less prone to injury.

Pilates focuses on deeper muscle groups, or local stabilizing postural muscle systems. These deep muscles, or slow-twitch muscles, are critical in managing joint movement within a safe range of motion while maintaining joint stability. Pilates starts training the joints at lower loads in isometric and concentric ranges and then slowly progresses to strenthening eccentrically (when muscle is extended) thereby creating safer range of motions in joint deceleration.

Pilates is a form of movement therapy with cueing and progression focused on developing appropriate muscle firing patterns to reduce tension and increase strength thereby reducing chronic use injuries and alleviating tension associated with acute injuries.

Core Benefits

  • Long lean toned muscles by cueing muscles that support neutral joint positions
  • Improves posture and strengthening of the core muscles
  • Improves flexibility and mobility of joints and muscles
  • Improves muscle strength to support injured areas
  • Improves coordination and balance
  • Alleviates poor posture and restores structural integrity through the application of alignment principles
  • Restores proper body function and integration of all systems: muscular, skeletal, respiratory, circulatory, nervous
  • Heals and rehabilitates through a gentle and methodical approach to the body
  • Complements and enhances any sport or activity
