THINKING PEOPLE’S FITNESS™
Over 80 years ago, Joseph Hubert Pilates had a vision of well-being for all people based on his years spent rehabilitating wounded soldiers in World War I England, furthered by his later work with professional dancers like Martha Graham and George Balanchine in New York City.
Built on these experiences, and rooted in the theories of Friedrich von Schiller and others, Joe Pilates envisioned the use of the incredible power of the human mind to mold the body from the inside out. Pilates went on to build a system of exercises that all share a common requirement: complete mental focus on the individual muscles being exercised at that moment.
Concurrently, Pilates realized an anatomical truth: that the overall fitness of the human body emanates from the inside out: that the deepest muscles (what we call the “Core†muscles) must be isolated and developed in series, as all other body systems depend on the Core for balance, stability and strength to function optimally. This combined state of brain-muscle awareness and internal-external equilibrium, called “the Mind-Body Connectionâ€, is the basis of all true Pilates work, regardless of its current source.
