What is Pilates?

Pilates is a physical fitness system developed in the early 20th century by Joseph Pilates in Germany. As of 2005 there are 11 million people who practice the discipline regularly and more then 14,000 instructors in the United States.

Pilates called his method Contrology, because he believed his method uses the mind to control the muscles.The program 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 breath and alignment of the spine, and aim to strengthen the deep torso muscles.

About Bridget Connelly:

Bridget Connelly's interest in movement began when she started dancing at the age of three. In 1998, she received her Bachelors of Fine Arts in dance from the University of the Arts in Philadelphia.
