Classical Pilates is a method of exercise developed by Joseph Pilates in the early 20th century, focusing on controlled movements, proper alignment, and strengthening the core muscles. It incorporates a series of mat and apparatus-based exercises designed to improve flexibility, balance, and posture while promoting mind-body awareness. The method emphasizes the integration of breath with movement to enhance coordination and muscle control. The benefits of Classical Pilates include improved posture, increased strength and flexibility, enhanced muscle tone, injury prevention, and better body awareness, making it an effective practice for both rehabilitation and fitness.
