Pilates, or – the art of controlled movement (Contrology), is a systematic whole-body training to mobilise the joints and to strengthen the muscles, primarily of the pelvic floor, abdominal- and the back.
It improves flexibility, builds strength and develops control and endurance in the entire body while focusing on engaging and centring the core / the “powerhouse” as a key to stability and healthy-controlled movement as well as on alignment, slow and rhythmic breathing and improving coordination and balance.
