It improves Posture by targeting deep postural muscles, creates longer, leaner muscles helping you to look more toned rather than bulky and reduces stress.

Correct Breathing, good Alignment and Centering are focused on throughout this method too thus providing a balanced workout which is sutible for all ages and abilities.

It is low impact, but still builds bone density whilst iimproving joint mobility and therefore recomended by health professionals.

Joseph Pilates who developed this method listed eight principles that underpin the approach to the teaching and practice of pilates.



These eight principles are covered when practicing pilates.
