Pilates is an exercise system that was developed by Joseph Pilates in the early 20th century. It addresses the body as an interconnected whole. Releasing and conditioning muscles to improve functional movement and overall strength.

Joseph Pilates believed mental wellbeing and physical health were interlinked and one could not be achieved without the other. Pilates emphasis the connection between mind and body by keeping the mind present and focusing on the body’s movement.

It teaches awareness of the body and the breath, working with control and precision, and restoring optimum movement by focusing on strengthening the deep, supporting muscles.

Concentrate on the correct movement each time you exercise, lest you do them improperly and thus lose all vital benefits
