What is Pilates?

​

Pilates was designed by Joseph Pilates and designed to elongate, strengthen and restore the body to balance.

Pilates uses controlled movements, primarily focused in your “core” to build body strength, flexibility and endurance. It’s a body conditioning routine that won’t result in bulky muscles. Instead, the movements help to lengthen your muscles as it strengthens them.

​

This holistic approach sets Pilates apart from many other forms of exercise. Osteopaths, physiotherapists and general practitioners recommend Pilates as one of the safest forms of exercise. Pilates can benefit almost everyone regardless of age or fitness level.
