Balispirit Yoga & Pilates Private Lessons by BaliSpirit.com

The Pilates Reformer was originally created by Joseph Pilates as a way for soldiers in Europe to rehabilitate their bodies while still recuperating. Joseph worked with the men in the hospital beds and started hooking up ropes and pullies and springs which later became the Reformer. He later moved to New York where his training methods began to be adopted by dancers and athletes.

The aim of this system is to encourage people to be more aware of themselves, more in touch with their whole being and to bring body and mind into harmony. The whole body is used in the exercises with an emphasis on core strength. You will find that this practice prevents injury, can repair injury and weaknesses, and creates strength, flexibility, endurance and confidence.
