The
Pilates Method (or simply Pilates) is a physical
fitness system developed in the early 20th
century by Joseph Pilates. Pilates called his
method Contrology, because he believed his
method uses the mind to control the muscles. The
program focuses on the core postural muscles
which help keep the body balanced and which are
essential to providing support for the spine. In
particular, Pilates exercises teach awareness of
breath and alignment of the spine, and aim to
strengthen the deep torso muscles. Pilates
believed mental and physical health are
essential to one another. He created "The Pilates
Principles" to condition the entire body: proper
alignment, centering, concentration, control,
precision, breathing, and flowing movement.
