What is Pilates?

Pilates exercises were developed in the 1920s by Joseph Pilates, with the original aim of rehabilitating prisoners of war.

Joseph Pilates himself described the system of exercises as "controlling", or to put it another way - Pilates practice requires intense concentration, focusing around the abdominal area, strong stretching and focused breathing. Years later, after it became clear that this type of exercise could improve the physical and mental state of anyone who practised it, it became a widespread and highly effective practice around the world.

Pilates exercises are designed to achieve good health and physical conditioning for the whole spectrum of ages. They are particularly effective for people who have suffered physical injuries, as well as those who suffer from various types of debilitating diseases (arthritis, osteoporosis, back pain). There are also Pilates method exercises for young children.

The focus of the exercises is on strengthening the abdominal area, increasing muscle strength and tone, achieving mental balance and improving overall coordination, balance and flexibility. One of the main reasons why daily exercises are so well received is the fact that they promote muscle tone and lead to achieving an aesthetically pleasing figure and appearance. The Pilates fitness program is based on 6 basic principles: centering, control, precision, concentration, breathing and fluidity. The similarity with other types of exercise, such as yoga and Tai Chi, is obvious.

What are the benefits of Pilates lessons?

As already noted, regular practice of Pilates brings with it significant health, physical and mental benefits. Those familiar with these techniques note improved joint mobility, increased body flexibility, improved balance and coordination, and improved blood circulation throughout the body as important benefits. Performing the exercises also results in increased strength in the abdominal area, improved muscle tone, body sculpting and slimming, reduced back, neck and joint pain and an improvement in the practitioner's ability to control the body and calm the mind. This, of course, also includes achieving correct body posture both when sitting and moving to overcome pain and injuries you may have suffered from in the past.
