H. Pilates (1880 – 1967) and originally called “Contrology”; it uses spring-driven
machines as well as a series of floor exercises to increase strength, flexibility,
stamina and concentration.

the pelvis into the rib cage and diaphragm. Most movements of the body can and should
activate these core muscles.
Using breathwork and flow of movement correctly, Pilates works on overall stability
and balance of the body.
