          What is Pilates?

    Pilates is a mind-body approach to strengthen and stretch the core muscles groups.
   Developed in the early twentieth century by Joseph Pilates, a former World War I nurse who moved to America from Germany in the 1920s. Many people came to Pilates to help heal an injury, and they ended up transforming their overall appearance. Pilates liked to call his system ‘Contrology’ because the method is all about controlling the muscles of the body through the conscious power of the mind.
    Thanks to the specific exercises that work with the abdominal muscles, Pilates help people to get rid of the ever-persistent lower back ache. Pilates also helps people suffering from severe arthritis to reinforce their muscles through proper movement. Sometimes people who use repetitive gestures wear away a single set of muscles. Pilates helps to correct the imbalance by targeting and using the underused muscle groups.
