About Pilates
Developed by Joseph H. Pilates, this exercise regimen combines elements of Yoga and Tai Chi with Western emphasis on strength and stamina by focusing on the core muscles of the abdomen while increasing flexibility in the legs, arms, and muscle groups without building bulk. The Pilates method uses specifically designed exercise apparatus for a series of controlled movements that condition your body, aiming to create a balance in the body and specifically designed to cater to the needs of each individual.
