Opleiding: Pilates basics

About Pilates:

Pilates is a form of exercise seeking the balanced development of the body through core strength, flexibility and awareness, to support efficient and graceful movement. Pilates is not only a series of exercises but a pathway to healthier and happier living.

It was developed by Joseph Pilates in the 1920 and is considered one of the most effective ways of developing whole-body health and improved body posture. The main Pilates benefits are core strength, stability, mental focus, flexibility, balance and improved posture in better whole-body health.

When done correctly, Pilates yields significant results in short periods of time. Pilates exercises do not include the following principles (flow, awareness, control, breath, precision, and concentration).
