What is Pilates?
The Pilates Method is not just a series of exercises, but an approach to attaining optimum physical and mental conditioning. It is a gentle but focused exercise, with the potential to become aerobic in its advanced form. Pilates stretches, strengthens, and conditions the body in its all-encompassing mind-body-spirit exercises. This approach is often shared with other techniques such as yoga, Alexander, and Feldenkrais. Instruction involves working on specially designed equipment, primarily using resistance against tensioned springs in order to isolate and develop specific muscle groups. Pilates movements give the entire body a workout, although the core of all movements come from the abdomen.
