What is Pilates?
The Pilates Method, historically known as Contrology, is a unique approach to physical conditioning developed by Joseph Pilates in the early 1900s. Pilates involves the disciplined use of custom apparatus and mat work. Students learn to practice a system of exercises designed for each apparatus as well as on the mat. Each exercise is to be executed with precision, focus, and control to achieve its specific goal.
