Developed in 1926 by Joseph Pilates, The Pilates
Method is a non-impact technique incorporating six principles:
CONCENTRATION, CONTROL, CENTERING, FLOW, PRECISION and BREATH.
It is a conditioning program that provides simultaneous stretching and
strengthening of the deep abdominal and back muscles, enhancing postural
integrity and trunk stability that builds trim, toned bodies. Perhaps this
is the reason that dancers have sworn by Pilates training since its
inception. After Joseph Pilates brought his Method to the United States his
studio quickly became the workout hub for dance masters, such as Martha
Graham and George Balanchine, who taught it to their students. In fact, many
athletes (even football players) and physical therapists have used Pilates
for years to rehabilitate injuries and increase flexibility while also
strengthening muscles. The Pilates method is perfect for any audience
because it is a non-impact, balanced system that works as well for the very
fit individual as it does for the injured and older population.
Recent research findings have created a shift in workout methods from
aerobics to strength training, fueling the demand for techniques such as
Pilates, which works on core conditioning.
