Pilates is an intensive full-body training based on the principles developed by Joseph Pilates: rib cage breathing, concentration, control, precision, flow, and centering. This precise and effective approach strengthens the so-called Powerhouse — the deep core muscles including the abdominals, back, pelvic floor, and inner thighs. The specific Pilates breathing technique supports and enhances the training.

By strengthening the deep stabilizing muscles, Pilates improves posture, stability, and overall well-being. Movements on the mat or the studio equpiment translate directly into everyday life: posture becomes more upright, walking feels lighter, and back pain often disappears.

Pilates is suitable for all ages and fitness levels and can be practiced for both prevention and rehabilitation. For Joseph Pilates, it was more than exercise — it was a lifestyle that positively influences both body and mind, far beyond the mat.
