Pilates

Pilates is a method of practicing physical exercises that focuses on developing a correct posture for an elongated spine that follows its physiological curves and teaches you to breathe properly. 

The Pilates method is safe, the risk of injury being very low. If initially the physical exercises may seem simple, once you understand how your breathing works and after a bit of training, you will feel the movement exactly as it should be done, and the exercises will no longer seem trivial.

This form of exercise was invented by Joseph Pilates. He invented this activity as an exercise program for dancers and soldiers because he strongly believed that physical and mental health were closely linked. The results of practicing this discipline showed that he was perfectly correct!
