Helpful facts

Pilates, also called the Pilates Method, is a systematic whole-body workout for strengthening the muscles, primarily the pelvic floor, abdominal and back muscles. It was invented by the German Joseph Hubertus Pilates (1883-1967). The Pilates method is a holistic body workout that primarily targets the deep-lying, small and usually weaker muscle groups to ensure correct and healthy posture. The training includes strength exercises, stretching and conscious breathing. The aim is to strengthen muscles, improve fitness and coordination of movement, improve posture, stimulate circulation and increase body awareness. The basis of all exercises is the training of the so-called "powerhouse", which refers to the muscles around the spine in the center of the body, the so-called supporting muscles. All movements are performed slowly and smoothly, which protects the muscles and joints. At the same time, breathing is trained.
