What Is Pilates?....

In a nutshell Pilates is a very effective and enjoyable complete exercise method. It is based upon eight principles that focus on building your body's core strength and improving your posture through a series of low repetition, low impact stretching and conditioning exercises.

By core strength, we are talking about your back, abdominal and pelvic muscles. Through Pilates, you will be able to develop these muscles without adding bulk, increasing your flexibility and agility and at the same time toning your stomach and thigh muscles.

Pilates goes far beyond your core muscles however and not only provides a complete body workout it also helps you develop an awareness of how your body works thus helping your mind and body to to work in harmony.
