Is Pilates right for me?
Joseph Pilates said “Pilates is the complete coordination of body, mind and spirit”. He developed Pilates as an exercise system based on the classical Greek ideal of a person balanced in body, mind, and spirit and it is now recognised worldwide as a form of exercise for your whole body. Originally designed to help athletes return safely to exercise and maintain their fitness, Pilates lengthens and strengthens all major muscle groups and significantly improves your placement, rhythm, general fitness and breathing pattern.
Pilates also improves strength, flexibility, balance, control and muscular symmetry. The rhythmic exercises help elongate and tone as well as develop strength in your abdomen, lower back and buttocks, giving a strong body core.
Pilates is ideal for people looking for rehabilitation, or those who suffer from muscle or joint pain such as back pain or lack of flexibility. It can help improve posture, coordination and balance, relaxation and concentration and is suitable for everyone from beginners to advanced.
