What is Pilates?

Pilates is a physical fitness system created by Joseph Pilates in the early 20th century. 

Joseph Pilates believed that mental and physical health were interrelated and so created a system of exercises intended to strengthen the human mind and body. 

​

Pilates puts emphasis on correct body alignment, breathing, developing a strong core and improving co-ordination and balance.

When practised consistently Pilates will:

• build strength

• develop control and endurance 

• improve flexibility
