What is Pilates?
Pilates is a challenging, yet gentle, exercise system that transforms the way your body looks and feels by focusing on strengthening and stretching muscles utilizing resistance. It is excellent for developing a strong “core” as well as a uniformly conditioned body. The technique was founded by Joseph H. Pilates who had a life-long interest in body-conditioning as a result of suffering from rickets and asthma during his youth in Germany.
He was interned and became a nurse in his 30s during WWI in England and designed exercise apparatus by attaching springs to patients’ hospital beds that enabled the wounded to recover from their injuries. He opened his first Pilates Studio in New York City in 1926 and had famous clients such as Martha Graham’s Modern Dance Company and George Ballencine and the New York City Ballet.
Joseph H. Pilates’ routine of “Contrology” is a system to awaken one’s muscles to improve function of the entire body, both mentally and physically.
Pilates is not just for the size zero, Hollywood actresses. Joe Pilates developed this program is for everyone regardless of age, stage, shape or fitness level. Come join us in a welcoming environment where our joy is in helping you become more aware of your physical power.
