Pilates is a conditioning, mat-work class designed to stretch and strengthen your body. The exercises coordinate breathing and movement while you work against the resistance of your own body weight to improve your core strength.

The program focuses on the core postural muscles which help to keep the body balanced and which are essential to providing support for the spine.

Many types of people like the benefits that pilates produces because they see improvements with their range of motion, flexibility, circulation, posture, and abdominal strength. Pilates also decreases the pain in the back, neck, and joints.
