Pilates
Pilates is a low-impact exercise method that emphasizes core strength, flexibility, and mindful movement. Developed by Joseph Pilates in the early 20th century, it combines elements of yoga, ballet, and calisthenics to create a balanced workout that benefits both the body and mind. Through a series of controlled movements, Pilates enhances posture, promotes muscle tone, and improves overall physical endurance. It is particularly effective in strengthening the deep abdominal muscles, which support the spine and contribute to a stable and healthy body. Whether practiced on a mat or specialized equipment, Pilates is suitable for people of all fitness levels and can be adapted to meet individual needs and goals.
