The Pilates method actually grew out of world-wide pandemic – the 1918 flu. Joseph Pilates was interned in a camp for enemy aliens in England during WWI when the flu broke out. He made it his mission to keep everyone there healthy. He had little to work with in terms of equipment and therefore, focused on facilitating health by getting everyone to simply, consistently, move their body. In this way he knew they would keep themselves strong, breathing, circulating and “internally showering” toxins out. He was amazingly successful! He was committed to healing the people he touched as he believed strongly that was the only path to peace.

We at The Pilates Center were talking about what Pilates teachers and clients want and need most at this challenging time. Knowing that most of you are somewhat limited by a lack of equipment, in your own home studio and especially for the clients you teach online, we knew that keeping your Mat  - doing and teaching - inspired and energized is key.
