Pilates was developed in the early 20th century by Joseph Pilates, who drew on influences from gymnastics, yoga, boxing and other movement disciplines. It focuses on controlled, precise movement, breath and core strength to support the whole body. It can help improve strength, stability, flexibility, balance and posture, making it suitable both as a general workout and as a supportive form of movement for building body awareness and control.
