What is Pilates ?

Pilates is a method of training the body and mind, which aims to strengthen and lengthen the muscles to form a more balanced and flexible body. Through a series of exercises performed in a slow and controlled way, the mind is literally trained to control the body so that body awareness and coordination are hugely developed.
