Pilates is a slow controlled flowing exercise program that focuses on the core postural muscles that help to keep the body balanced and are fundamental to providing support for the spine.

Pilates unites the mind and body focusing on concentration, precision, balance and breathing. The deeper awareness of the cylinder of strength within us will create a greater control over movements. Discovering this centre of gravity will allow us to glide in and out of the pilates exercises with fluidity and grace. In Pilates we breathe to channel core energy into the centre of the body and out to the limbs.

In Pilates, the periphery comes out of the core. Important principles of the Pilates exercise program include: * Concentration * Breath * Centering * Relaxation * Quality * Flowing Movement * Alignment * Stamina.
