The Pilates method was first devised by Joseph Pilates in the 1920s for the purpose of rehabilitation. His contemporary method focuses on strengthening and toning your muscles while improving posture and flexibility with an emphasis on the core. The six key principles of the Pilates methods are control, concentration, centering, flow, precision, and breath.
