What
is "Pilates"? Embrace
your highest potential
More information coming soon!
"Pilates"
is a body conditioning system that was created over eighty years ago by
Joseph H. Pilates. It was initially popular with dancers and other performers
and later became popular in the fitness world. Pilates exercises are performed
on the floor or on specialized equipment and focus on aligning the shoulder
girdle and building strong abdominal muscles and a strong and supple back.
Practiced faithfully, Pilates yields numerous benefits including stronger
back and abdominal muscles, greater lung capacity, better circulation,
greater bone density, healthier joints, and increased flexibility. Pilates
also helps people develop greater body
awareness, better posture, and improved coordination and balance. By coordinating
the minds, breath and body, Pilates teaches balance and control of the
body. With practice this capacity can be carried over into other areas
of one's life.
