What is Pilates?
Pilates is a movement concept developed by Joseph Pilates in the early 1900's. He referred to his method as Contrology, advocating the mind controlling the muscles.
This mind/body conditioning regime helps to build flexibility, mobility, strength and coordination.
Pilates exercise provides full body kinetic chain exercise, using open and closed chain movements incorporating local and global muscles to improve functionality.
