“When I am dead they’ll say “he was right” I’m fifty years ahead of my time” ~Joseph Pilates
To me, Pilates is the perfect movement program. It conditions the body, mind, and spirit to a state of being "in the zone" without any undo stress on the body. Therefore, it is appropriate for EVERYONE, regardless of age, body type, or physical or mental malady.
