What is Pilates?

Pilates, developed by Joseph Pilates in the 1920's, incorporates the best aspects of Eastern and Western exercise disciplines. His method blends relaxation and body position awareness with muscle toning, strengthening and intensity of movement. This assures that the whole body is engaged and being utilized throughout the workout, producing a very flexible and visibly lean body.
