Introduction to Pilates

Pilates is a type of exercise that focuses on developing the body in a balanced way though core strength and flexibility to foster graceful, efficient movement. Pilates was originally developed by Joseph Pilates in the 1920s as a rehabilitation program for prisoners of war, and is now one of the most popular exercise forms in the country.

Pilates works for a people of all shapes, sizes and fitness levels, and is useful for improving general fitness, enhancing athletic performance and physical rehabilitation.

The Pilates method emphasizes quality rather than quantity, and Pilates exercises typically include only a few precise repetitions for each move.

Basic Principles

Pilates is founded on six basic principles: Center, Control, Concentration, Precision, Breath, and Flow.
