What is Pilates?
The Pilates Method is an approach in mind & body integration that was created by Joseph Pilates in the 1920s. The fundamental principles focus on balance, concentration, control, centered awareness, fluid movements, and breath. Pilates enhances a core strength that increases flexibility, coordination and spacial awareness.
Pilates engages the whole person, not just the muscles. For everybody from an athlete to office worker, Pilates will develop and enhance stamina, posture, alignment & core strength for elite performance to everyday activities.
Pilates emphasizes controlled, precise movements, which are performed on a mat and designed to stretch and strengthen muscles. You use your inner most abdominal muscles, low back, and buttocks to initiate and direct movement so that the rest of the body can move more freely, yet in an ‘empowered’ manner.
