Pilates is a mind-body exercise system that targets core strength and flexibility through focused movements. Created by Joseph Pilates, it emphasizes the “powerhouse” muscles to enhance posture, stability, and alignment. The integration of breath and movement fosters mindfulness during sessions. Practicing Pilates leads to a strong core, long lean muscles, increased flexibility, and improved body awareness. It is suitable for all fitness levels, gentle on the joints, and promotes mental well-being, making it a rewarding and holistic exercise regimen for a balanced and healthy lifestyle.
