ABOUT AUTHENTIC PILATES
Joseph Pilates developed over 500 exercises and engineered the equipment from a hospital bed during his internship in the first world war. This equipment is designed specifically for all body capabilities. All exercises are executed with precision, control and breathing using the Power House (abdominal muscles).
Pilates stretches , strengthens and elongates the muscles promoting harmony and balance for people of all ages and physical conditions. Correcting posture and alignment using the mind to control the muscles (body mind connection). This focuses on the core postural muscles that keep the body balanced and are essential to support the spine, strengthening the deep torso muscles to alleviate and prevent back pain.
In short the Pilates method is a body conditioning workout for all. It elevates the mind as well as strengthens the body, stretching and toning the muscles to help support your frame. Strengthening the weak and challenging the strong. The Pilates method is for all. Age gracefully with bone boosting and blood pressure stabilising exercises.
