What is Pilates
The Pilates method seeks to develop controlled movement from a strong core and it does this using a range of apparatus to guide and train the body.
Pilates demands intense focus: "You have to concentrate on what you're doing all the time. And you must concentrate on your entire body for smooth movements.
The reason you need to concentrate so thoroughly is so you can be in control of every aspect of every moment.
In order for the practitioner to attain control of their body they must have a starting place: the center.
The center is the focal point of the Pilates Method.
Pilates aims for elegant sufficiency of movement, creating flow through the use of appropriate transitions.
Once precision has been achieved, the exercises are intended to flow within and into each other in order to build strength and stamina.
In other words, the Pilates technique asserts that physical energy exerted from the center should coordinate movements of the extremities: Pilates is flowing movement outward from a strong core.

Pilates was designed by a physical-culturist from Germany.
He developed a system of exercises during the first half of the 20th century which were intended to strengthen the human mind and body.
Joseph Pilates believed that mental and physical health are interrelated.
Breathing is important in the Pilates method.
In Return to Life, Pilates devotes a section of his introduction specifically to breathing "bodily house-cleaning with blood circulation".
He saw considerable value in increasing the intake of oxygen and the circulation of this oxygenated blood to every part of the body.
This he saw as cleansing and invigorating. Proper full inhalation and complete exhalation were key to this.
Pilates emphasizes the concepts of core strength and stabilization. Students are taught these concepts, as well as to use their “powerhouse” throughout life’s daily activities.
According to Joseph Pilates, the powerhouse is the center of the body or core and if strengthened, it offers a solid foundation for any movement.
This power engine is a muscular network which provides the basic control and stability in the lumbopelvic region, which furthermore consists of the pelvic floor muscles, the transversus, the multifidus, the diaphragm, the muscles of the inner thigh, and the muscles encircling the sitting bone area.
