“Physical fitness is the requisite of happiness.”

What is Pilates?
Developed by Joseph Pilates (1880-1967), Pilates draws inspiration from both Western and Eastern exercise regimes with the aim of strengthening the body while providing greater flexibility and optimal posture. Regular Pilates practice will:

• create a supple, powerful body
• build stronger, leaner, more flexible muscles
• relieve stress and improve mood, creating a general sense of well-being
• alleviate pain and assist with the establishment of optimal posture
