What is Pilates?

Pilates is an exercise which uses the mind and body to improve or enhance total well-being. Pilates is a unique exercise system which involves strengthening and stretching the muscles as it works the body. When undertaken regularly, Pilates improves concentration, co-ordination, balance, flexibility, posture as well as mental and physical stamina. Through using you mind to focus on breathing and movement, simultaneously your body awareness and co-ordination are enhanced.

The Australasian Institute of Pilates Method is designed to work the smaller muscle groups which support the larger ones. Each exercise movement is strengthening and lengthening the entire muscular system through smooth fluid movements.
