PILATES
Pilates is a mind-body exercise modality which was developed by Joseph Pilates (1880-1967) who named his method 'Contrology'. After his passing they renamed it to 'Pilates' in his honour.

"If your spine is stiff at 30, you are old.
If it is flexible when you are 60, you are young" Joseph Pilates
