About Pilates
The Pilates Method is a unique system of strengthening and stretching exercises developed by Joseph H. Pilates in the 1920’s. Pilates fuses aspects of eastern and western exercise disciplines: from the east comes an emphasis on the mind-body connection and flexibility and from the west comes an emphasis on muscle tone, strength and endurance. Pilates builds a strong, well-aligned body that moves with efficiency and ease. Exercises are performed on different types of apparatus with adjustable spring tensions to strengthen areas of weakness and balance the body. Props such as balls, foam rolls, rings and bands are also utilized.
