We have Joseph Pilates, a native German, to thank for the method of body conditioning that bears his name. In many ways ahead of his time, Joseph developed the Pilates Method over 70 years ago. His approach was unique in that it emphasized building a strong Powerhouse, or core (deep abdominals, deep spinal muscles, and pelvic floor), to allow the body an intrinsic support that minimises the risk of injury, even while performing challenging movements.

Pilates really gained popularity after it was discovered by the international ballet community, who needed strength without bulk. Now, people from all walks of life and all ages flock to Pilates.

The Six Principles of Pilates are:

• Breathing
• Precision
• Centering
• Flowing movement
• Control
• Concentration
