THE PILATES METHOD
Joseph H. Pilates, born in Germany in 1880, had a lifelong interest in body conditioning. He developed the Classical Pilates Method in the 1920's as an exercise system that creates flexibility and strength for the entire body. He believed that physical and mental health were completely dependent upon one and other.
While interned in England during World War I for his German citizenship, Joseph became a nurse. During this time, he designed exercise apparatus for immobilized patients by attaching springs to hospital beds. This system formed the foundation for his style of body conditioning and specialized exercise apparatus, which he brought to New York City when he opened the first Pilates Studio in 1926.
Programs are tapered uniquely to each individual and their needs through the watchful and experienced eye of Classically trained instructors.
