Pilates

Created by Joseph Pilates in the 20th century, Pilates was a movement system originally developed to rehabilitate injured soldiers but evolved into a conditioning system used by dancers and athletes. Pilates focuses on increasing core strength as well as muscular flexibility and control through fluid and precise movement.

Benefits of Pilates include improved posture, trunk stability, increased flexibility and overall muscle tone, alleviation of back and joint pain, prevention and rehabilitation of injuries, increased cardiovascular endurance and stress reduction.
