Young or old, athletic or not, female or male, it doesn't matter. Pilates really adapts to everyone because it is a progressive method designed to meet everyone's needs and physical conditions.

Pilates is a physical training method inspired by yoga, dance and gymnastics. It is practiced on the ground, on a carpet, or using devices. “Proprioceptive toys” are also used. These objects (balloons, springs, rubber bands, circles) induce imbalances, which encourage the body to call upon a specific series of stabilizing muscles. A gentle technique, body and mind, to strengthen deep postural muscles, based on movement control and specific breathing.
