If the essence of Pilates could be summed up in a paragraph this might be it…
“Not only is health a normal condition, but it is our duty not only to attain it but to maintain it”. “Rome was not built in a day” and patience and persistence are vital qualities in the ultimate success of any endeavor. When all your muscles are properly developed, you will perform your work with minimum effort and maximum pleasure. As small bricks are used to build large buildings, so will the development of small muscles help to develop large ones. Pilates is “the attainment and maintenance of a uniformly developed body with a sound mind, fully capable of naturally performing our many daily tasks with spontaneous zest and pleasure.”"
- Joe Pilates
