What is Pilates?

Pilates is a low-impact exercise method focused on controlled movements, breathwork, and core strength. Originally developed by Joseph Pilates, the practice incorporates controlled exercises that engage deep stabilising muscles, promoting better posture, balance, and coordination.

Suitable for all fitness levels, Pilates can be done on a mat or using specialised equipment like the reformer. It’s widely used for general fitness, injury rehabilitation, and stress relief, making it a powerful tool for both physical and mental well-being.
