“The Pilates Method of body conditioning develops the body uniformly, corrects posture, restores vitality, invigorates the mind and elevates the spirit.” – Joseph Pilates

Pilates was developed 100 years ago by the health and wellness visionary Joseph H. Pilates. This man based his exercise method on his inherent knowledge of sound bio mechanic principles of movement and anatomy. The method which he called “the Art of Contrology” or muscle control is a complete coordination of body, mind and spirit.

“As a heavy rainstorm freshens the water of a sluggish or stagnant stream and whips it into immediate action, so does the Pilates Method purify the blood-stream.” – Joseph Pilates
