WHAT IS PILATES?
Pilates is a form of exercise that was created around the time of World War I. Joseph Pilates is the founder of Pilates, he and his wife Clara originally named it Contrology.
Joe’s goal was to encourage the use of the mind to control muscles, focusing attention on core postural muscles that help to keep the body balanced and provide support for the spine.
In particular, Pilates exercises teach awareness of breath and of alignment of the spine. Pilates will strengthen the deep torso and abdominal muscles, and is always a well-rounded workout.
