Pilates
Developed by Joseph Pilates in the early 1900s, Pilates mixes elements of gymnastics, boxing, yoga, and strength training. Focused on core strength, controlled movement, breathing, and alignment, he called it Contrology. During WWI in England he adapted equipment to help injured soldiers recover. In the 1920s he opened a New York studio with his wife Clara, popular with dancers and athletes. The original method uses mat exercises and his machines, taught with concentration, control, center, flow, precision, and breath.
