Pilates is a low-impact exercise method that focuses on improving strength, flexibility, and posture through controlled, mindful movements. Developed in the early 20th century by Joseph Pilates, this form of exercise was originally designed to help rehabilitate injured soldiers and dancers. Today, Pilates is practiced worldwide and is loved by people of all ages for its ability to build core strength, improve balance, and enhance overall wellbeing.
Joseph Pilates, a German physical trainer, created Pilates during World War I. He combined elements of yoga, gymnastics, and rehabilitation techniques to develop a system that promotes body awareness and alignment. Initially used as a rehabilitation tool, Pilates evolved into a popular fitness practice focused on strengthening the core muscles, improving flexibility, and encouraging better posture and breathing.
