What is Pilates?

​

Pilates is an exercise method developed in the early 20th century by Joseph Pilates. It was originally called Contrology. His underlying philosophy was that to achieve good health one must address the whole being – body, mind, and spirit.

Using both the Mat and equipment designed by Joseph Pilates, it can teach correct body alignment and balance. Using equipment, it is the ideal way to add both flexibility and strength to every movement.
