The Pilates method was created by Joseph Pilates in the 1920s for rehabilitation purposes. His modern method focuses on strengthening and toning muscles while improving posture and flexibility with an emphasis on the core. The six main principles of the Pilates method are control, focus, centering, flow, precision and breath.
