Pilates is a physical fitness system

developed in the early 20th century by

Joseph Pilates, and popular in many

countries , including Germany,

the United States and the United Kingdom.

It is a safe, sensible exercise system that will help your body look fit and firm. Pilates also improves flexibility, agility and economy of motion. It can even help alleviate back pain.

• Benefits of Pilates : Pilates is a body conditioning routine that may help build flexibility, muscle strength, and endurance in the legs, abdominals, arms, hips, and back.

Pilates Lifestyle : Pilates is much more than an exercise method - it is a way of life. A fusion of the mind and body based on the reawakening of dormant muscle and brain cells, Pilates gives us the opportunity to live a life where the gap between functional motion and enlivened thought has been bridged.
