Mind - Body - Breath
Since its original development by Joseph Pilates in the early 1900s, the Pilates Method of exercise has become popular worldwide as a means to a stronger, leaner, more flexible body, greater energy levels, and an increased ability to cope with the stresses of everyday life.
Borrowing principles from Eastern and Western exercise philosophies and endorsed by medical and fitness professionals, Pilates is not repetitions of meaningless exercises but a holistic approach to creating balance through engaging the body, breath, and mind. By working the body "smart" rather than "hard," exercising the Pilates way leaves you stimulated, not exhausted, and results in long, lean muscles rather than bulk.
Simply Pilates comprises a complete workout, progressing step-by-step through a series of beginner-level exercises which can easily be performed at home with nothing more than an exercise mat.
