Evolving Pilates

  • What is Pilates, and what are the benefits of taking Pilates classes?

    Pilates is a low-impact, full-body exercise method designed to improve core strength, flexibility, balance, posture, mobility, and overall body awareness. According to VeryWell Fit, Pilates is ideal for lengthening and strengthening the muscles and aligning the spine to improve posture. Through controlled movements and proper breathing techniques, taking a Pilates class can help strengthen and tone the body while placing less stress on the joints than many high-impact workouts.
