It's one of the hippest exercise programs whose emphasis is on controlled, low-impact strengthening, stretching and breathing.

Designed to add muscle tone, grace and harmony of mind and body, the emphasis of Pilates is to restore the body to its true balance. The exercises focus on strength while improving posture, alignment and coordination. These exercises are renowned for producing lean, lithe physiques.

Pilates speaks to today's concerns of alignment, injury prevention, correct breathing, simultaneous stretching and strengthening, and effecting that ever elusive harmony between mind and muscle. Its gentle enough to be performed by pregnant women, sophisticated enough to challenge the super fit and safe enough to be prescribed for rehabilitation.
