In this method, body and mind work together for a precise muscular workout, to strengthen and lengthen them.

Posture, body alignment and the rhythm of the breath required to perform the exercises form the basis of the technique. The series of movements is short; a session includes numerous exercises targeted at each muscle group.

What are the results?

Directed by our will (mind), movements are gentle, precise and performed in a state of serene concentration. Breath control is essential in working the deep muscles of the abdominal belt and lumbar region.

Exercises aim to firm, tone and stretch the body, improving strength, flexibility, mobility, coordination and posture.

Who's it for?

Thanks to its wide range of exercises and multiple benefits, Pilates can be practiced as a sport, as a complement to any other physical activity, or as a rehabilitation method (post-traumatic, post-operative or post-partum).
