Developed by Joseph Hubertus Pilates, he originally called his method contrology - the complete co-ordination of body and mind. "Physical fitness is a requisite of happiness. Our interpretation of physical fitness is the attainment and maintenance of a uniformly developed body with a sound mind fully capable of naturally, easily and satisfactorily performing our many and varied daily tasks with spontaneous zest and pleasure." Pilates focuses on building core strength and body awareness. This is helpful in correcting weaknesses in the body. Pilates was designed for injured dancers with rigourous routines to recover and continue performing. It is now available for everyone. Return to top
