A well kept secret by dancers since the 1940s, pilates(pronounced puh-LAH-teez)is a system of stretching, breathing, and toning similar to yoga. Created by Joseph H. Pilates in the 1920s, the technique was designed to allow dancers to exercise without aggravating an injury. Over time, pilates has evolved into an elite workout method used by athletes, physical therapists, dancers, and celebrities. The exercise regime has been coined the “hottest workout in Hollywood” because it is used by stars ranging from Madonna to Patrick Swayze to sculpt and tone their bodies. Working your body from the “inside out” building upon core abdominal and back strength - pilates delivers optimal strength, tone, flexibility and posture, without building bulk or stressing your joints.
