Pilates is very similar to Yoga, in that it is a form of mind-body exercise, however the primary focus of Pilates is developing a strong core by bringing the body back into balance. This is achieved through essentially connecting the mind, breath and movements. Joseph Pilates created the technique through determination to overcome his childhood illness and ailments and the practice today follows the fundamental of Pilate’s exercises by segmenting them into 8 guiding principles. By bringing the 8 principles together, we are able to perform precise full body-movements, move naturally along with the breath, control muscular movement within exercise, and remain focused on keeping our bodies aligned, amongst others.
