Pilates is great for people of all fitness levels. It’s for anyone looking for a low-impact exercise that strengthens their abdomen, tones their muscles, and increases flexibility. All exercises can be adapted to every level from beginner to advanced. It’s a great way to rehabilitate from injury especially if you have lower back issues. A strong core improves your posture and supports your spine taking the pressure off your lower back.

Joseph Pilates referred to his method as “the thinking man’s exercise” since concentration is an integral part of the workout. Pilates is a mind-body exercise that helps you connect with your body. After a few classes, you’ll find your mental focus improving along with your posture. You’ll notice a change in the way you walk, bend down to pick things up, and generally move through your day.
