I believe that all movement is beautiful and each individual’s body moves uniquely. Joseph Pilates understood this concept and, with that wisdom, developed movements that can make positive changes in an individual’s body using a combination of appropriate breath patterns and muscle articulation.
For me, Pilates focuses on teaching movements in ways that address an individual’s needs and abilities. The Pilates Method teaches an individual appropriate movements by giving them guidance and variations in each movement that maximize the benefit to their body.
