PILATES

PILATES THAT TRANSFORMS

Imagine your core being stronger than it is today – your spine being more flexible, your movement better than ever and your injury risk nil. S2S Pilates Studios focus on low-impact exercise that aims to strengthen muscles while improving postural alignment and flexibility. The movements you’ll learn will target your core and strengthen other areas of your body as well.

Pilates (invented by Joseph Pilates), is a way to restore and maintain your personal movement patterns. The goal of Pilates is to help you feel better moving in your daily life.

The History of Pilates

Pilates is a system of exercise invented by Joseph Pilates in Germany during World War I. Originally called “Contrology,” the method began as a way to rehabilitate injured, bedridden soldiers. Once Joseph moved to New York City in 1925, he and his wife Clara opened a gym to bring Contrology to the U.S. The method, which focuses on proper breathing, improving posture, restoring balance to muscles and increasing core strength, quickly became popular with ballet dancers and Broadway performers. Soon after, celebrities and elite New Yorkers became Pilates devotees. Although Joseph Pilates died in 1967, his method is flourishing.
