PILATES
ABOUT PILATES
The Pilates Method, developed by the legendary
physical trainer Joseph Pilates, is a full body exercise system.
Emphasizing body alignment and correct breathing, Pilates uses the
abdomen, lower back and buttocks as a power center, enabling the
rest of the body to move freely. Pilates is a series of controlled
movements, performed on a mat or on specially designed equipment. It
improves flexibility, joint mobility, balance, coordination,
breathing and posture. This mind-body technique is a more efficient
way of exercising. The outcome is long and strong muscles, a flat
stomach, a strong back, and improved posture.
Pilates is appropriate for anyone, young and old, athletic,
sedentary or in physical therapy. It is for individuals who want to
improve strength and flexibility without building bulk. Practiced
regularly, Pilates aids in preventing muscle and soft tissue injury.
Pilates told his students, “You will feel
better in 10 sessions, look better in 20 sessions, and have a
completely new body in 30 sessions.”
| GENTLE MAT PILATES | return to top |
