THE HISTORY OF PILATES
The father of Pilates was Joseph H. Pilates, a German who came to believe that the "modern" life-style, bad posture, and inefficient breathing lay at the roots of poor health.

He ultimately devised a series of exercises and training-techniques and engineered all the equipment, specifications and tuning required to teach his methods properly.

In 1925 Pilates migrated to the United States of America and with wife founded a studio in New York City and directly taught and supervised their students well into the 1960s. In particular, Pilates exercises teach awareness of breath and of alignment of the spine, and strengthen the deep torso and abdominal muscles.

Joseph Pilates died in 1967 at the age of 87 but his teachings live on today as Pilates has become one of the most popular and effective treatment techniques to strengthens core muscles, improve muscle control, flexibility, coordination, strength and tone, as well as alignment and breathing.
