WHY IT REALLY MATTERS WHO’S TEACHING YOUR PILATES CLASS
BY PILATES BARRE LEX | LEXINGTON, KY
True Pilates is a full-body movement method rooted in breath, alignment, control, and strength. It was created by Joseph Pilates nearly a century ago (brought to the United States in 1926) and is based on principles that focus on how the body moves, how it heals, and how it functions optimally.
Real Pilates is intelligent, therapeutic, precise, and deeply effective. It supports your spine, joints, muscles, balance, and coordination—and it requires a highly trained instructor to guide you through the work safely and effectively.
