Pilates has taken the fitness world by storm over the last ten years. It focuses on the core postural muscles which help keep the body balanced and which are essential to providing support for the spine. In particular, Pilates exercises teach awareness of the breath and alignment of the spine, and aims to strengthen the deep torso or core muscles.
