The Pilates MethodThe Pilates Method was developed by Joseph H. Pilates over 80 years ago. He created and exercise system combining Eastern and Western disciplines with his own style of equipment. A Pilates workout is based on variable, spring-loaded resistance instead of Pilates focusing on improving flexibility and strength for the total body without building bulk. It is a series of controlled movements engaging your body and mind, performed by specifically designed exercise apparatus. Pilates develops a high degree of abdominal and back strength and suppleness of the spine and limbs. By studying the Pilates Method you will develop better balance and muscle control while increasing coordination. You will gain a cognitive understanding of how the body and mind work together to generate movement of specific muscles, as well as, reverse the detrimental effects of time-worn patterning. It is excellent for elite athletic conditioning, improving overall quality of life, rehabilitating and preventing injuries.
