WHAT IS PILATES?

Pilates, is a unique exercise method developed by Joseph Pilates in the early 20th century, is rooted in the belief of the mind-body-spirit connection. Joseph's own journey of overcoming health challenges inspired him to create a system that promotes strength, flexibility, and body awareness. By combining elements from various disciplines, such as such as yoga, martial arts, gymnastics, skiing, self-defense, dance, circus training, and weight training, Joseph crafted a method that balances both physical and mental well-being.

WHAT IS MEDITATION?

Meditation is a practice that involves training the mind to focus and redirect thoughts, ultimately leading to a state of mental clarity and inner calm. It is an ancient practice that has been cultivated for thousands of years, with roots in various spiritual and religious traditions.

Meditation typically involves finding a quiet and comfortable space, assuming a relaxed posture and engaging in techniques that encourage deep relaxation, concentration, and mindfulness.
