Can you explain what classical Pilates is? Classical Pilates was created by Joseph Pilates. He realized during the First World War that when he was working in the hospitals, if he attached certain springs to the beds and helped his patients move, that they healed much, much quicker. So that was kind of when classical Pilates was born. Through that, and he really saw the body as a system. So he created this repertoire of movement that really kind of served the body. And he was very focused on breath work. And when you conn connect breath work to movement as he does, it's just amazing. And he really believed in the powerhouse, which is essentially your core and the spine. He always said, you're only as young as your spine is healthy.
