Pilates is a low impact system of exercise created by Joseph Pilates in the early
20th century. This method makes use of sequential and precisely performed
movements that stretches and strengthens the muscles, while emphasizing on core
control and proper alignment. Increasing core strength allows for improved spinal
support, balanced posture, structural alignment of the skeleton, and mobility of
the extremities, such that the body is able to function more efficiently. Focusing on
coordination, movement flow, and corresponding breathing patterns are an integral
part of Pilates exercises, creating a total mind and body workout.
