Pilates

German born Joseph Pilates invented and promoted his method of physical fitness in the 1920’s. His technique, which he later called “Contrology,” is now know around the world as The Pilates Method. The pilates technique consists of a series of controlled movements performed with precise focus, balance, and conscious flowing breath maintaining a connection between the mind and body. Whether performing the series of mat exercises or using The Pilates Apparatus, all exercises promote flexibility, muscle toning, core strength, and balance. The primary goal of the exercises are to stabilize and strengthen the core muscles with the result being a balanced body able to better avoid and recover from injury. Performed correctly the exercises help realign postural problems by working through muscular imbalances. One of the many great attributes about Pilates is that it is highly adaptable, making it suitable for all ages and levels of fitness. This proven method helps millions of people feel better and move better every day. A consistent Pilates practice will provide you with lasting results, helping you look and feel fantastic.
