What is Pilates?

Pilates is a style of workout that combines core-strengthening, low-impact workouts with movement and breath. It was first invented by Joseph H. Pilates, and it has become a well-known routine for improving balance, core strength, and mobility. Pilates utilizes special equipment and yoga-type mats for resistance training, along with hundreds of exercises and variations.


A typical pilates class will include strengthening exercises that move fluidly with the breath. Much like a vinyasa yoga course, the movement is flowing and dynamic. Pilates workouts target muscle groups in your abs, pelvic floor, low back and glutes, working large and small stabilizer muscles that benefit your body’s posture and alignment.
