Pilates is a method of exercises developed in
the early 1900’s by German-born Joseph
Pilates. He formulated his regimen to include
six principles: precision, fluidity, breath,
control, concentration and centering. His method
of exercise focuses on strengthening, stretching,
and balancing the whole body. By stabilizing
and strengthening the core muscles of the body,
Pilates helps to optimize your body’s
performance through a mind-body connection at
every task whether it be running a marathon
or simply sitting at your desk.
