Pilates movements focus on “the powerhouse” – the core muscle groups including the abdomen, lower back, hips, and buttocks. Together, these muscles form a person's physical center. By initiating each movement from the central core of the torso and flowing outward to the extremities, Pilates creates a streamlined body, improves coordination and body awareness, combats stress and tension, and helps to correct posture imbalances.
