“A few well-designed movements, properly performed in a balanced sequence, are worth hours of doing sloppy calisthenics or forced contortion.”
– Joe Pilates

What is Pilates?
More than a buzz word that’s seen its hay day, Pilates is a method of physical exercise designed by Joseph H. Pilates in the early 20th century to stretch, strengthen, detoxify, and notably to keep your spine healthy and flexible, which Pilates believed defined one’s true age regardless of how many birthdays one has had.
