What is Pilates?

Pilates is the method of body conditioning that targets the deep postural muscles of the abdomen and spine to improve overall central core stability and posture.

Pilates is set of principles and corrective exercises which combine to work the whole body, coordinating the upper and lower limbs with the body’s centre.

When performed regularly, Pilates positively changes the body. It combines awareness of deep postural muscles, breathing, postural correction with suppleness and flexibility. It also aides relaxation.
