Pilates is a system of exercises concerned with improving breathing, posture, strength and flexibility.
It uses a series of slow, flowing, precise, movements which challenge all the muscles, but in particular the deep postural muscles especially the pelvic floor and the deep abdominals - known as your "core stability", or "girdle".
It helps to reshape your body, which will become longer, leaner and more toned. It will also improve your posture, and is a great way to relieve unwanted tension and breathe more efficiently
Pilates is a useful rehabilitation aid after injury, it can be used to help in the treatment of bad backs and to overcome problems with joints and muscles.
