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.”
