Joseph Pilates created the Pilates system in the early 20th century.

Over the years the exercises have been modified but the fundamental ideas of Joseph Pilates remain:

• strengthening the core muscles to protect the spine
• toning muscles without creating bulk
• corrective posture and alignment and
• increasing flexibility.

Our standing warm-up focuses on posture, alignment and balance. The mat work that follows focuses on core strength, coordination, flexibility and muscle tone. All the exercises can be modified and adapted to accommodate injuries.
