Pilates
What is Pilates?
Pilates is a muscle strengthening system of exercise developed by Joseph Pilates in the early 20th century. It focuses on the core postural muscles which help keep the body balanced and provide support for the spine. Pilates exercises teach awareness of breath and alignment of the spine, and aim to strengthen the deep torso muscles. It can be adapted to any age or fitness level.
