What is Pilates?
Named after its creator Joseph Pilates, Pilates is a 100-year-old innovative system of exercise employing a series of strength-based and dynamic movements using the core muscles — the muscles which stabilise the trunk and protect the spine — demanding concentration and precision.
It is a strengthening and lengthening form of exercise that focuses on your core while also training your arms and legs, bringing the whole body into each movement.
Mat Pilates can be modified for any age, body, or fitness level — and it is even possible to practice modified Mat work in a chair.
