Joseph H. Pilates developed his unique method of body conditioning over 90 years ago. Born in Germany, a frail and sickly child, he was determined to improve his weakened condition through mental and physical application, hence the method was born. Pilates exercise programme focuses on:

Increasing and creating a balance between strength and flexibility

Improving coordination, alignment and posture

Releasing tension and focussing the mind

The exercises are designed to identify and recruit the muscles of the body in order to maximise engagement without causing stress.
