The Body Control Pilates ® Method is based on the work of Joseph Pilates who began to develop his Method around the time of the First World War before opening a studio in New York in the 1920’s. His studio soon attracted the city’s ‘elite’ with actors, dancers and athletes finding that his exercises perfected and completed their traditional programme and catered for their individual needs – building strength without adding bulk, balancing that strength with flexibility, and achieving the perfect harmony between mind and body.
