What is Pilates and what are its benefits?
Pilates is a body conditioning method which focuses on strengthening the body’s core. Specialized equipment helps elongate muscles, develop strength and flexibility, all with minimal impact on the joints. It allows the body to move with balance, coordination and efficiency. This allows people of all ages, body types, and ability levels to reap the many physical and mental benefits of Pilates. Pilates is very effective for both the rehabilitation of injuries and the transformation of a healthy body into a toned physique. Pilates provides the tools to transform your body whether you are looking to improve your posture and physique or get healthy and strong following an injury.
