What is Pilates?
Pilates (pronounced “puh-LAH-teez”) is a system of exercise created by Joseph H. Pilates in the early 1920s. He brought his method of physical and mental conditioning to the United States in 1923, drawing on his study of yoga, martial arts and other disciplines.
What are the benefits of Pilates?
- Longer, leaner muscles with greater freedom of movement
- Better posture
- Stronger, more stable core and improved mobility
- Injury prevention
- Easier everyday movement and functional fitness
- Balanced strength and flexibility
- Greater body awareness
- Low impact and easy on the joints
- Customizable for everyone, from rehab clients to elite athletes
- Complements other forms of exercise
- Improved performance in sports such as golf, skiing, skating and dance
- Better balance, coordination and circulation
Is Pilates like yoga?
In some ways, yes. Both are mind-body practices that emphasize deep breathing and smooth, controlled movement. The difference is that yoga typically moves from one held posture to the next, while Pilates flows through dynamic, systematic and anatomically based movements with repetitions. The goal of Pilates is optimal functional fitness.
How is Pilates different from weight training?
- Pilates works in three dimensions, using every plane of movement
- It emphasizes controlled lengthening and shortening of muscles to help prevent injury
- It can be customized for special needs
- It rebalances the muscles around each joint, correcting overtraining and imbalances that lead to injury
- It balances strength with flexibility and improves posture and body awareness
What results can I expect from Pilates?
Most clients notice greater flexibility, mobility, balance and body awareness, along with less back pain and general discomfort. Pilates can also support healthy weight management.
How soon will I see results?
An active person practicing two to three times a week typically notices results within 10 to 12 sessions. Your timeline depends on how often you practice, your other physical activities and any existing injuries.
