About
Pilates
The Pilates Method (or simply Pilates), is a physical
fitness system developed in the early 20th century by Joseph
Pilates. Pilates called his method
Contrology, because he believed his method uses the mind to control the
muscles. The program focuses on
the core postural muscles which help keep the body balanced and which are
essential to providing support for the spine. In particular, Pilates exercises teach awareness of breath
and alignment of the spine and aim to strengthen the deep torso muscles.
