What is Pilates?
Pilates is a form of exercise that focuses on promoting strength, flexibility, and balance throughout the body. It was developed by Joseph Pilates in the early 20th century and is based on a series of exercises that engage the core muscles, improve posture, and enhance overall physical function. Pilates is not just a physical exercise, but also a mental discipline that emphasizes the connection between the body and mind.
