Pilates is a popular system of exercises developed by Joseph Pilates to strengthen the central part of the body and improve overall posture, balance and flexibility. This practice combines elements of yoga and ballet with unique techniques that focus on improving the strength of the muscles around the spine and stabilizing the body.
