The Pilates Method called Centrology system was originally developed in the early 1900’s by Joseph Pilates. Pilates strengthens and tones muscles, improves posture, provides flexibility and balance, unties body and mind and creates a more streamlined shape. Pilates requires mindful breathing and attention to form with the execution of every exercise.
