"Pilates is being hailed as "the fastest growing exercise technique worldwide". Once a well kept secret by celebrities such as Madonna and Courtney Cox, people worldwide are committing to what is being termed a more "mindful" and "intelligent" exercise approach. The American Council on Exercise recently predicted that "mindful" exercise programmes will further increase in popularity, particularly Pilates, for its ability to develop strength and balance for a large spectrum of health and fitness levels. Pilates is a mind body conditioning exercise program that targets the deep postural muscles of the abdomen and spine to improve overall central core stability and posture. The mind and body are brought together to achieve these aims through the following eight sound principles:
concentration, centering, breathing, isolation, routine, precision, control and flowing movement."
