"In 10 sessions you'll feel the difference, in 20 sessions you'll see the difference,
in 30 session you'll see a new body." -Joseph Pilates

Pilates (pronounced puh-LAH-teez) is an exercise system focused on improving flexibility and strength for the total body without building bulk muscles. Pilates was developed in the 1920s by a physical trainer named Joseph H. Pilates.

In Pilates, there are about 500 specific exercises and these exercises are designed to develop the entire body. The exercises are based on a few precise movements which are more conducive to attaining proper control and form.

1• CENTERING: All movements originate from the center of the body, located in the pelvis just below the navel.

2• CONTROL: Control is essential to the quality of every movement. This is the opposite of overexertion of the muscles.

3• CONCENTRATION: The key to coordinating mind and body is concentration.

4• PRECISION: Moving with precision can’t be achieved without concentration.

5• BREATHING: Conscious breathing helps focus the attention and direction of the body, and it delivers oxygen to the muscles being used.

6• FLOWING MOVEMENT: All exercise emphasizes grace, control and precise motion.
