A thoughtful way to move, rooted in a remarkable history.
Pilates brings together controlled movement, breathing and focused attention to develop strength, mobility and body awareness.
WHERE IT BEGAN
A method with a history
Born in Germany in 1883, Joseph Pilates developed a lifelong interest in physical training. He created a method he called Contrology, bringing body and mind together through purposeful movement.
After moving to the United States in 1926, Joseph and Clara taught the method in New York. Their studio became well known among dancers, and their students helped share the work with future generations. Today, Pilates is practised around the world.
