Pilates "develops the body uniformly, corrects wrong postures, restores physical vitality, invigorates the mind and elevates the spirit"
Joseph Pilates "Return to Life through Contrology"
Pilates is a low impact approach to movement that works both the mind and body. It is a way to re-educate the body and restore balance through alignment, strength, flexibility and control of movements. Pilates regains healthy, normal movement patterns. It is a way to move and feel better.
Benefits include:
Pilates can be beneficial for everybody regardless of age, size, shape, gender, fitness level or health.
In Pilates sessions we are training the body to move well, and with practice, this results in unconsciously moving better with improved posture - the same way as learning to drive a car becomes automatic. We focus on good alignment to encourage correct muscles to work efficiently and effectively, to reduce wear and tear on joints and restore balance to the body. The focus is on quality not quantity with slow, controlled and precise movements.
History of Pilates
Joseph Hubertus Pilates (1883-1967) developed the Pilates method, which was called Contrology until he died. As a child he suffered from illnesses and was drawn to the idea of helping himself through exercise. He trialled several health and fitness methods such as martial arts, yoga, dance, weight training and selected and developed these into his work. See more on Pilates History.
