What Is Pilates?

Pilates is a body conditioning method that effectively strengthens and lengthens muscles, improves alignment, and increases flexibility while refining mind-body awareness.

Developed by Joseph H. Pilates in the early 20th century as a way to improve his own health and athleticism, he established the mat work series. Later he developed and built various pieces of equipment to supplement and expand upon the floor exercises.

Pilates work is appropriate for all ages and effectivce for anyone from the novice exercise student to the most elite athlete. It utilizes the entire body, and every exercise emphasizes the use of the core.

The method "develops the body uniformly, corrects wrong postures, restores physical vitality, invigorates the mind, and elevates the spirit." -Joseph H. Pilates
