WHO IS JOSEPH PILATES?
WHO IS JOSEPH PILATES? While interning in England during WW1, Joseph H. Pilates became a nurse. Using hospital beds and springs he designed an exercise program for immobilized patients that worked to reawaken their bodies through movement, and their minds through conscious thoughts. This method formed the foundation for his style of total body conditioning and specialized equipment. He introduced his unique method of exercise in New York in 1926, and in no time a who’swho of the sports and entertainment world were practicing Pilates
WHAT IS PILATES?
Imagine an exercise regimen that you actually looked forward to attending. A program that engages your mind and body, leaving you feeling refreshed and invigorated, and in a state of physical and mental well-being. The Pilates system (pronounced puh-lah-tees) of body conditioning offers this, and more.
The Pilates system is a total body workout that focuses on improving strength and flexibility, while the natural curves of the spine are restored. With specifically designed equipment and the supervision of a certified Pilates instructor, slow controlled movements requiring intense concentration and coordinated breath are performed.
