What is Pilates?
Pilates is a technique invented some 70 years ago by Joseph H. Pilates. Pilates is a body conditioning method that works in a different way to other fitness techniques. Targeting the deep postural muscles, pilates works by building strength from the inside out, rebalancing the body and bringing it into correct alignment. It helps to reshape your body, which will become longer, leaner and more toned. It will also improve your posture, achieving the perfect balance between strength and flexibility, and it is a great way to relieve unwanted stress and tension.
Pilates involves concentration and the co-ordination of breath and movement, thereby helping to balance mind and body. Its slow, controlled approach means that it gives much longer-term results and it is especially recommended by medical specialists for those with back problems.
Why Pilates?
Regular pilates participation is proven to create long lean muscles, a strong core, reduce stress, improve balance and co-ordination. It can also reduce unnecessary tension, increase stamina and relieve tension and pain throughout the body. So, pilates really does cover all bases and is executed in a controlled and measured way.

So from the young to the old, the weak to the strong pilates is a fantastic way of balancing the mind and the body.
