Pilates is a method of exercise and physical movement designed to stretch, strengthen and balance the body. Developed by Joseph Pilates in the early 20^th century, the Pilates method is a systematic practice of specific exercises and focused breathing patterns that combine flexibility, strengthening, spinal alignment, core stabilization, balance and coordination. 

The benefits of Pilates include:

• Body awareness
• A stronger core
• Increased lung capacity and circulation
• Improved coordination—both physical and mental
• Strength and flexibility
• Improved posture
• Bone density and joint health improve
• Body control
