WHAT IS PILATES
Pilates, the incredible workout method, was designed by the visionary Joseph Pilates, a remarkable physical culturist hailing from Germany. Born to a father who was an esteemed gymnast from Greece and a mother who was a naturopath, Pilates was destined to revolutionize the fitness industry.
Drawing inspiration from both Eastern and Western exercise practices, including the likes of yoga, Joseph Pilates spent the first half of the twentieth century developing a comprehensive system of exercises that aimed to strengthen not only the body but also the mind.
His philosophy was simple yet profound - mental and physical health are deeply interconnected.
With this belief in mind, Joseph Pilates crafted a series of exercises that targeted both the mind and body simultaneously, aiming to create a harmonious balance between the two.
The focus of his method was to strengthen the entire body evenly but with a particular emphasis on building a strong core.
Why is core strength so important, you may ask? Well, Joseph Pilates firmly believed that a strong core was the foundation for overall fitness and well-being. By engaging the muscles of the abdomen, lower back, hips, and pelvis, Pilates exercises help to improve posture, balance, and stability.
Not only that, but a strong core can also enhance the efficiency of movement and reduce the risk of injury during daily activities or other forms of exercise.
