WHAT IS PILATES?

Pronounced (pi-LAH-teez), this unique body conditioning system was developed by Joseph Pilates and brought to America in the 1920’s. Pilates exercises are performed in a flowing, controlled manner, combining gradual movements with methodical breathing. Aspiring for precision with correct form, each movement is methodically thought out and extremely effective. Equivalent periods of relaxation and exertion provide a perfect balance for strengthening and stretching muscles and the spine while significantly improving bone mass.
