What is pilates?
Pilates is a body conditioning method that works in a different way to other fitness techniques. Targeting the deep postural muscles, it works by building strength from the inside out, rebalancing the body and bringing it into correct alignment. It helps to reshape your body making it longer, leaner and more toned.
 
Joseph Pilates developed the pilates method which forms the basis for what we practice today. Through using exercises that target specific deep muscles, pilates helps to correct those poor postural habits that we develop through our daily lives and that in turn cause us aches and pains. It is for this reason that pilates is especially recommended by some medical specialists for those with back problems. 
 
Pilates focuses on the core muscles, which include the tummy, making it a great way to tone and flatten your stomach.
 
In addition to helping strengthen and reshape your body, pilates is also a great way to relieve stress and tension - giving the body and mind "time out" from today's busy world.
 

"In ten sessions you'll feel the difference, in twenty you'll see the difference, and in thirty you'll have a new body": Joseph Pilates
