So just what is Pilates

Pilates is a form of low-impact exercises that aim to strengthen all your muscles while improving your posture and flexibility. Movements are slow, controlled, precise using breath control and can be done without any equipment.

Pilates started out as “contrology” by Joseph Pilates in the 20th century, initially for men and is now practised world wide

“Breathing is the first act of life and the last. Our very life depends on it” – Joseph Pilates
