Pilates

Pilates is a form of low-impact exercise that focuses on improving flexibility, strength, and overall body awareness. Created by Joseph Pilates in the early 20th century, it emphasizes core strength, posture, and alignment through controlled movements. Pilates can be performed on a mat or with specialized equipment, and it is suitable for all fitness levels. Many people practice Pilates to enhance athletic performance, rehabilitate injuries, or relieve stress. The method promotes a strong mind-body connection, encouraging participants to engage their muscles effectively and breathe deeply during exercises.
