the pilates method

Joseph Pilates developed this holistic exercise system in the early 1900s, drawing inspiration from many different forms of movement including boxing, weight training, yoga, martial arts, and ballet. The Pilates method of exercise offered a chance to improve physical performance and recovery from injury.

Joseph concluded that within any sport discipline, both the mental and physical elements had to be respected – this relationship formed the foundation of Pilates.

Pilates can be performed with or without specialist equipment, and provides a balanced, whole-body exercise programme.
