"Pilates is complete coordination of body, mind and spirit."

Pilates is one of the most versatile ways of exersising and while you can of course join a gym or a pilates studio there is certainly no need to do so as it is perfectly suited for doing at home.

Typical Pilates workouts tend to be 30 - 45 minutes long so it's easy to fit into a busy schedule and being alow-impact exercise it gentle but still aims to strengthen muscles while at the same time improving postural alignment and flexibility. 

You can do Pilates both with or without equipment but no matter what it always involves slow, precise movements and breath control.

“Physical fitness is the first requisite of happiness.”

In addition to improving physical fitness Pilates has also been found to have a beneficial effect on mental health and several studies have found that those who practice Pilates see a reduction in symptoms of depression, anxiety and fatique as well as an increase in energy.  

Since Pilates was developed by Josef Pilates in the 1920s many people have realised the health benefits and today 10s of million practice it all over the world and in recent years a vast majority of those are doing it online in the comfort of their homes.
