What is Pilates?

Pilates was designed by Joseph Pilates and was originally name Contrology. It is an innovative, refreshing, mind-body exercise system that focuses on stretching and strengthening the whole body. 

By emphasizing proper breathing, correct spinal and pelvic alignment, you will become acutely in tune with your body, allowing you to implement the Pilates principles you learn into your day to day life.
