Pilates was developed by Joseph Pilates in 1920 as exercises for rehabilitation.
Since then, Pilates has been expanded to be effective in the fitness field as well.
By being aware of your breathing and body movements, Pilates exercises can help to balance muscles around the joints.

Pilates is also popular among ballet dancers because Pilates exercises contribute to maintaining a flexible and slender body.
