Pilates is a conditioning method for the body and mind. It is a well controlled, focused physical conditioning program for the whole body, promoting balanced fitness and body awareness. As you work on fitness aspects such as strength, flexibility, coordination and posture, you will be learning to gain control of your body and balance your muscular system for a better way of moving.
Muscles are worked with control and in a variety of combinations, resulting in long lean muscles with greater strength throughout range, rather than shortened bunched muscles.
The Pilates Method was developed in the 1920’s by Joseph H Pilates. It is an exercise program suitable for all ages and levels of ability, combining elements of western and eastern body conditioning principles.
Osteopaths, physiotherapists and general practitioners are now recommending Pilates as a perfect middle ground, re-educating the body into normal life after an injury.
