What is Pilates?
Pilates was born out of 'Contrology', the brain child of Joseph Pilates, who as a sickly child devoted his life to improving his health and the health of others through movement. Pilates involves a series of controlled moves that target specific muscles to address muscle imbalance and realign your body. This helps your muscles and joints return to their optimum functional state to regain strength and flexibility. Gradually you will start to feel lighter and taller, use your muscles more effectively, and improve your range of movement.
