What is Pilates?
Pilates is a method of exercise and controlled movement designed to stretch, strengthen and balance the body. Joseph H. Pilates, developed his method in the early 1900’s after 20 years of self-study and apprenticeship in yoga, gymnastics, boxing, skiing and diving. His innovative approach combines mental and physical harmony and is based on six main principles:
- Centering: Preparing for exercises with the contraction of the deep abdominal muscles.
- Control: Being in control of every aspect of each movement.
- Concentration: Connecting the body and the mind.
- Flow: Smooth, flowing movements.
- Breathing: Breathing fully and efficiently.
- Precision: Striving to produce exact movements every time.
