WHAT IS PILATES?

Named after Joseph Pilates in the 20th Century, pilates is a form of exercise that focuses on the mind and body. As the core principles of pilates have evolved, it has become a favoured low-impact method of exercise. The movements that make up a typical pilates session include moving between standing, seated, and lying-down exercises, with emphasis on alignment and posterior lateral breathing. Combining physical routines with intentional breathing can stimulate calming and stress-relieving effects, which is why many are drawn to pilates’ strengthening and mindful results.
