What is Pilates?
Pilates was developed by a german physical trainer named Joseph Pilates. It originally named ‘Contrology’ primarily to focus on a mind body connection.
It has since evolved into many avenues of this ‘idea’, however maintaining a focus on movement, core, breathe, strength and length.
Pilates uses ALL ranges of motion, facilitating components of ALL body systems from the physical to somatic. The idea is to develop the body as a whole unit.
Movement CAN be fun and often people have found pilates to integrate all aspects of the body into feeling both joy with movement and a sensation of feeling complete.
