The Lowdown

Pilates in London, it’s the new yoga. OK so it’s different to yoga, but the two both help you build flexibility, strength and coordination. And you don’t just use your body as a large part of the pilates philosophy has to do with the concentration of the mind. Inventor Joseph Pilates called his system Contrology as the mind’s control of the muscles is a key factor. In pilates, as well as a mat, you use certain pieces of apparatus that help provide resistance. Using these, you run through sets of established exercises for a full workout.
