Learn more about pilates

Pilates is a physical fitness system developed in the early 20th century by Joseph Pilates. It focuses on improving flexibility, strength, and body awareness through controlled, low-impact exercises that emphasize core stability, posture, and breath control. Pilates exercises often involve precise movements performed on mats or specialized equipment like the reformer, designed to challenge and support the body. This practice helps to strengthen the muscles around the spine, enhance overall balance, and reduce the risk of injury. Pilates is popular for rehabilitation, athletic training, and general fitness, offering benefits such as improved muscle tone, better alignment, and increased mental focus and relaxation.
