What is Pilates?
Pilates is a method of physical conditioning with many exercises. These exercises help to develop strength, balance, alignment and symmetry in the body to promote overall well being. Training consistently in this method can provide many benefits. With the emphasis it places on the breath, the method can improve lung capacity; both strengthen and increase the flexibility of the muscles of the back and abdomen, commonly known as the core; and improve joint function, posture and the flexibility of the spine. All of these benefits leave the studio and transfer into the tasks we do in every day activities.
When Joseph Pilates created this system of exercise, his intention was to teach individuals how to restore vitality and health to their lives. “…(Pilates exercises) build a sturdy body and sound mind fitted to perform every daily task with ease and perfection as well as to provide tremendous reserve energy for sports, recreation, emergencies.” - Joseph Pilates
