PILATES

Pilates is a physical fitness system developed in the early 20th century by Joseph Pilates, but has only recently enjoyed an explosion of popularity. Anyone who has practiced Pilates can enlighten you on the benefits and positive experiences they have gained from this complete mind and body workout. Joseph Pilates invented Pilates to rehabilitate Second World War soldiers, which he then modified for injured dancers.

Pilates not only trains your muscles, but also your mind to improve your core strength, posture, balance and alignment. In doing this it will build strength and improve flexibility to help alleviate backaches, sore necks and strained muscles. Pilates heightens body awareness so when you’re performing everyday movements you are using the right muscles to protect yourself from injury.
