What is Pilates

Pilates is a highly effective well balanced full body exercise method. It can be described as system of physical and mental conditioning that improves your physical strength, flexibility, balance and coordination. Additional benefits include stress reduction, improved mental focus and increased overall well-being. Pilates is designed for anyone and everyone.

The emphasis is on restoring natural muscle balance through controlled, targeted exercises and conscious breathing. The exercises focus on strengthening the deep abdominal, pelvic floor and back muscles that stabilize the torso. All movements initiate at the core and are performed in a controlled and precise manner. The effect is increased overall strength, muscle tone, improved circulation, leaner and a more sculpted body. The concentration on the exact execution of the Pilates exercises leads to an enhanced body awareness and improved posture. According to Joseph Pilates' promise: “In 10 sessions you will feel the difference, in 20 you will see the difference, and in 30 you’ll have a whole new body.” You will feel better after every workout and you will see the benefits from the very first session.
