Pilates is a complete
exercise method developed by its founder Joseph Pilates over the course
of a lifetime dedicated to improving physical and mental health.
Pilates focuses on building your body's core strength and improving your
posture through a series of low repetition low impact stretching and
conditioning exercises.
By core strength, we are talking about your back, abdominal and pelvic
muscles. Through pilates, you will be able to develop these muscles
without adding bulk, increasing your flexibility and agility and at the
same time toning your stomach and thigh muscles.
Pilates goes far beyond your core muscles however and not only provides
a complete body workout (you will be working muscles you didn't even
know you had!), but also helps you develop an awareness of how your body
works, helping your mind and body to work in harmony.
