Pilates is a low-impact workout that strengthens the body, improves flexibility, and enhances posture and balance. Often using specialized equipment like the Reformer, Cadillac, or Stability Chair, Pilates provides resistance through a full range of motion. The focus is on strengthening the core—abdominals, lower back, pelvic floor, and hips—while promoting mindful, controlled movements in sync with the breath. Breathing plays a key role in improving muscle control and movement quality. Pilates activates both large muscle groups and smaller stabilizers, helping to improve muscle tone, flexibility, and overall balance.
