Pilates is an exercise program and philosophy created by Joseph Pilates during the early 1900’s. The Pilates philosophy helps to create an awareness of the breath and body to help improve muscle imbalances and weaknesses, full- body alignment, posture and balance. Movements are slow and controlled, working small intrinsic muscles that are often overtaken by the larger muscles of the body. When these small muscles are lengthened and strengthened, movement, flexibility and balance are all improved. Pilates also encourages proper breathing, which can help with circulation, brain function and a feeling of well-being. Pilates can be challenging, fun, relaxing, and can benefit anyone’s quality of life.
