WHAT
IS PILATES?
“Pilates”
is a full-body conditioning program of about 500 exercises based
on the six principles of its creator, Joseph H. Pilates. Known for
developing “core” strength, it is much more than just a collection
of exercises. It is a “Method” with a thoughtfully refined and time-tested
foundation in the philosophy and theory of many Eastern and Western
exercise styles. In his words, physical fitness means “The attainment
and maintenance of a uniformly developed body with a sound mind
fully capable of naturally, easily and satisfactorily performing
our many and varied daily tasks with spontaneous zest and pleasure.”
