Pilates
Pilates is a type of
physical and mental conditioning that was first
introduced to the United States in 1926. Since
then, Pilates has grown so much in popularity
that what was once only known by dancers, actors,
sports figures, and the rich and famous is now
a household word. J.H. Pilates believed that
good health required balanced fitness of body
and mind. He emphasized the importance of control
over both, and even titled his body of work "Contrology".
Many contemporaries of Pilates have built upon
his original technique by incorporating vital
information about the body that movement science
has only recently discovered such as; optimal
spinal alignment, pelvic placement, and shoulder
awareness.
