| Joseph H. Pilates was a German-born
athlete and physical therapy pioneer who, along with his partner and
wife Clara, created the method in the early 1900's. The method
combines both Eastern and Western philosophies of physical and mental
conditioning. Using specialized large as well as small equipment and
mat exercises, the Pilates method uses a unique assisted approach and
balances muscle strength, flexibility, and improved posture. Focusing
on the breath and moving efficiently repatterns and balances the body
and calms the mind.
