Pilates Wandsworth

3-Mar-2009

The Pilates method is a technique that was developed by physical trainer Joseph Pilates - rumoured to be from Mönchengladbach in Germany - in 1920’s America.

The main aim of doing Pilates is to attempt to create a fusion of mind and body, so that without even engaging the mind, the body will move with grace and balance. As of 2005 there are 11 million people who practice the discipline regularly, and it’s becoming more popular each day.

Pilates teaches you to work from the inside-out, focusing predominantly on your core - the deep abdominal and spinal muscles - increasing control and stability around the spine and pelvis.

A strong core results in greater movement around the body and helps reduce the risk of injury, especially in your lower back. Other benefits of Pilates are improved muscle tone, flexibility & posture.
