What is Pilates?
Pilates (pronounced: puh-LAH-teez) improves mental and physical well-being, increases flexibility, and strengthens muscles through controlled movements done as mat exercises or with equipment to tone and strengthen the body. It was developed by Joseph Pilates based on his own personal conditioning prgram which he developed around 1910.
In addition, Pilates increases circulation and helps to sculpt the body and strengthen the body's "core" or "powerhouse" (torso). People who do Pilates regularly feel they have better posture, are less prone to injury, and experience better overall health.
Pilates is designed to combine your breathing rhythm with your body movements. Qualified instructors teach ways to keep your breathing working in conjunction with the exercises. You will also be taught to concentrate on your muscles and what you're doing. The goal of Pilates is to unite your mind and body, which relieves stress and anxiety
