Pilates - History
Joseph Pilates, originally from Germany, developed a unique exercise system in the early 1900's. His first studio was, in New York City, in 1926. Pilates combines ballet, gymnastics, and yoga exercises creating a truely effective overall body conditioning system. The equipment designed to support this system relies on springs rather than weights, leading to a more fluid experience. So what does Pilates really do? It strengthens your whole body, especially abs, gets rid of your tummy, tones muscles, and improves posture, flexibility, and balance. It sculpts and redefines your body. Pilates has been a secret of dancers and gymnasts for almost 100 years! George Balanchine of the NYC Ballet was a huge fan of Pilates. Other fans include professional athletes, models, actors, and house wives. Whether, you're looking for a "dancer" body or or something new, Pilates will take you there. You'll start to notice when you are stuck in traffic or sitting at your desk at the office, or standing in line at the grocery store, that you will be correcting your posture yourself. Pilates helps reduce stress, increase endurance, and will help you to feel better and look better.
