After more than a century of existence, Pilates remains a training method renowned for its concrete results. Developed in the 1920s by German inventor Joseph Pilates, these exercises focus on breathing, optimal body alignment, and neuromuscular balance and control.
Towards better balance
Pilates helps rebalance the body's muscles, with an emphasis on the abdominals and core muscles. This training method also lengthens and tones muscles while improving posture, flexibility, mobility, and abdominal strength. In addition, it promotes greater awareness of movement. This allows for better control.
Pilates is for everyone
Pilates classes have a low impact on the joints and are suitable for all ages and fitness levels. Everyone can enjoy its benefits. By varying the pace, intensity, and complexity of the exercises, Pilates can be adapted to each person's specific needs and goals.
