Pilates is a method of physical conditioning that improves body consciousness, muscular tone and posture.
The basic principles are good postural alignment, spinal column mobilization and controlled breathing. During a class using Pilates techniques, all exercise sequences are performed according to these three principles, and there is a fine attention to detail. It is a workout that demands patience and support.
Benefits are quite considerable:

better range of motion
spinal column mobility
body consciousness
mental mastery
muscular toning
definition of the thighs, gluteals, back and abdominals
All movements take place on the ground.
