What is Pilates?

The Pilates technique (or method) is a low impact workout suitable for all levels designed to strength, lengthen and tone the body. Pilates works with slow, controlled movements and breath to improve flexibility, strength, balance and body awareness. It focuses on strengthening the core (abdominal muscles) while balancing the muscles to create better alignment in a full body workout and is fantastic for getting back into shape or maintaining a healthy physique.
