About Pilates

Pilates is an exercise technique which was developed by German-born Joseph Hurbertus Pilates in the 1920’s. It took on its first form after World War I when Pilates used his “Contrology” on the German nationals in the camps on the Isle of Man.

After the war Pilates left for America. On the way over to the United States Pilates met Clara, who he soon after married; Together they established the first Pilates studio in New York. The method gained huge popularity especially amongst the dance community.

With the benefits of Pilates being so apparent its popularity spread into fields of professional sports and theatre. Pilates is regarded as one of the best holistic forms of exercise due to its focus on core stability, concepts of breathing, stretching, strengthening, posture and the body-mind connection

I have a confession to make. I use to think that Pilates is one of those senseless things that is was made for the lazy.
It is for that reason that I never really seriously considered my friends' suggestion to take it up.
So whenever I laugh and shake my head, it is because I'm being humbled by the reality of what Pilates is and particularly what it is not.

My perception was very wrong. It is one of the hardest things that I've done and I now also understand why it is necessary for everyone to do.
