💡What is Pilates?💡
Pilates is a form of low-impact exercise that aims to strengthen muscles while improving postural alignment and flexibility. The moves involve slow, precise movements that co-ordinate with your breath pattern.

Pilates moves tend to target your core, although the exercises work other areas of your body as well. The core includes the entire trunk, abdominals, hips, the inner and outer thighs, and the back.
