What is Pilates?

The Pilates Methodology

Originally named Contrology, Pilates is a codified movement method of over 500 exercises designed to improve your life! The principles of Pilates include breath control, rhythm and flow, focus and uniform development. Centered around the movements of the spine, flexion, extension, side bending and twisting, Pilates will improve your posture and alignment and help you feel freer in your daily chores. What makes Pilates unique is the use of spring loaded equipment. The equipment provides support and resistance related to your body weight so that the exercises become real life applications of your day to day movements. Many of the Pilates exercises are done lying down and later progress to standing. This allows movers of all capabilities to participate in Pilates as a movement and exercise modality.
