Pilates (pi-LAH-teez) is a program of exercise and movement that will
stretch, strengthen and balance the entire body. It was named after its
creator Joseph H. Pilates and has been practiced in the United States
since the 1920's.
Pilates will change the way your body looks, feels and moves! It builds
strength, improves flexibility and teaches body awareness, good posture
and efficient movement patterns. It accommodates all abilities from
beginner to athlete and has modifications for injuries or other special
needs.
