Pilates
Pilates is an exercise method designed to elongate, strengthen and restore the body to balance. It works by strengthening deep postural muscles and therefore building strength from the inside out.
“Physical fitness is the first requisite of happiness. In order to achieve happiness, it is imperative to gain mastery of your body. If at the age of 30 you are stiff and out of shape, you are old. If at 60 you are supple and strong then you are young.”
Joseph Pilates
Pilates is beneficial for general fitness, specific health conditions and most of all for your overall well-being. It is a great way to relieve stress and tension.
“Pilates develops the body uniformly, corrects wrong postures, restores physical vitality, invig-
orates the mind and elevates the spirit.”Joseph Pilates
Pilates can be beneficial for just about everyone, regardless of age and fitness level. It is good for athletes looking to enhance their performance as well as first time exerciser.
Just because pilates doesn’t conform to the “no pain, no gain” mentality of other exercise regimes, don’t think that it isn’t an excellent route to increased fitness

We called it limbering but we were doing Pilates.”
