About Legacy Pilates, Yoga and More
Cindy Cook is the founder of Vital Lifestyles, Inc., Pilates Lakeside, Pilates Lifestyle, and Legacy Pilates, Yoga and More. She has 20 years experience in the fitness and wellness industry. Cindy has a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration and Exercise Science minor from the University of Nebraska at Omaha. Her Certifications include American College of Sports Medicine HFI, American Council on Exercise Personal Trainer and Group Fitness Instructor, COREFIT Pilates, PilatesCoach mat & small equipment and Reformer, Pilates Unlimited LLC Mat & Equipment, Tai chi (FlowMotion), YogaFit, PiYo, Hatha Yoga and Reiki.
All of our instructors are educated in their field of expertise and continue to enhance their education and skills by attending workshops and classes in health, wellness and related fields.
Our focus is on instilling balance in our lives. Western exercise generally beats the body up. In mind-body practices, one learns to challenge the body without forcing, straining or pushing to get results. Learning to go deeper into the core, stabilizing muscles of the body is a totally different feeling than using the larger, more superficial muscles. A sense of internal strength and power blended with a graceful approach will offer great mind and body control. This kind of control affects all aspects of life and can benefit any sport or activity.
Our primary programs consist of Pilates, Yoga and Tai Chi. These practices are very time-efficient. They blend muscle strength, endurance, flexibility, cardiovascular and respiratory components to create a well-rounded fitness program and great health benefits. Focus, coordination, stability, rotation, power, and stress management are just some of the benefits you will encounter with these methods of exercise. Learning to let go of the "no pain, no gain" philosophy and feeling "no pain, no strain" will be a tremendous difference in the effects in the mind and body. The benefits one gets through these types of programs is astounding.
We hope you can join us for one of our life-transforming, powerful, yet calming, programs. Let us know how we can help you reach your health goals.
Om Shanti (peace),
Cindy Cook

About Joseph H. Pilates
Pronounced "puh-la-tes", this form of exercise was developed by Joseph H. Pilates. Even though most people think Pilates is a new fitness program, Joseph was born in 1880. He was a frail, sickly child who improved his physical health with concentrated exercises. He was an exercise enthusiast, gymnast and boxer who designed a rehabilitation program in Europe and immigrated to the United States in the early 1900's. Joseph opened his studio in New York next to a dance studio (probably why many think pilates is for dancers). He called his method "Contrology" or controlling the body with the mind. Some of his long-term students have opened "Pilates" studios and continued his legend by offering programs and training in the Pilates method.
