Why Pilates?

Pilates is a beautiful form of structured movement inspired by yoga, callisthenics and ballet. Originally called “contrology” by pioneer, Joseph Pilates, it focuses on the pillars of mobility and strength, balancing the activation of all major muscle groups within the body. Pilates can come in the form of either aerobic or non-aerobic exercise depending on the focus of the class and the needs of the student, with all approaches requiring considerable flow and concentration. It’s a malleable kind of movement suitable for everyone, from elite athletes to those with limited experience or mobility!
