About Pilates

Pilates is for you if you need to improve all round posture, tackle back problems or increase abdominal strength. Pilates is for you if you want all round toning leading to that long lean look. Pilates is for you if your mind needs to unwind, if you need to relax, de-stress and take time out from your hectic life. Pilates is for you if you are a man; Pilates is for you if you are a woman. In my opinion, Pilates is for everyone.

General information (extract from Wikipedia):
Pilates is a physical fitness system developed in the early 20th century by Joseph Pilates in Germany. The programme focuses on the core postural muscles which help keep the body balanced and which are essential to providing support for the spine. In particular, Pilates exercises teach awareness of breath and alignment of the spine, and aim to strengthen the deep torso muscles. Pilates during pregnancy has been claimed to be a highly valuable and beneficial form of exercise.
