What Is Pilates? 

Pilate’s movements focus on “the powerhouse” – the core muscle groups including the abdomen, lower back, hips, and buttocks. Together, these muscles form a person's physical center.

 By initiating each movement from the central core of the torso and flowing outward to the extremities Pilates creates a streamlined body and;

· Improves coordination & body awareness

· Combats stress & tension

· Helps to correct posture imbalances.

Pilates, with its combination of mental focus and physical effort, helps to restore the body's natural balance. Pilates trains the mind and body to work together toward the goal of total fitness.
