The Method

 

"Physical Fitness is the first requisite of happiness.Our interpretation of physical fitness is 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"

"Joseph Humbertus Pilates"

 

Pilates is a body/mind discipline based on the original system of controlled movements developed by Joseph Humbertus Pilates more than 60 years ago. The method focuses on creating a healthy balance between strength and flexibility of the total body with a focus on core stabilization. The exercises are designed to improve function of the muscular and skeletal systems, enhance circulation, augment energy and elevate overall individual levels of fitness. Pilates consists of the mat exercises and is further enhanced by special apparatus, such as the Reformer, Cadillac, Chairs, Barrels and Magic Circles.
