What is Pilates? Pronounced (Puh-LA-tees)
Evolved from techniques created byJoseph Pilates
in the early 1900's in order to strengthen and lengthen muscles
while integrating the mind and body. Pilates is an exercise-based
system that aims to develop the body's "center" in order to create
a stable core for all types of movement. Through a process of regular
classes or private sessions, the body's structure realigns and
a balance is achieved within the musclo-skeletal system. Eventually
the body will move with maximum efficiency and minimum effort. Anyone
of any age or fitness level can do Pilates. Using specially designed
equipment as well as mat/floor exercises, a one hour session is
designed for you to help achieve your fitness goals. The
following are a few of the benefits you can expect from participating
in a Pilates program.
- Better balanced and proportioned body
