The first Body Control Pilates company was founded in London in 1995. Body Control Pilates exercises have been developed for both mat and machine work and are adapted from the ‘classical’ Pilates exercises. The classical exercises demand strength and agility and are more suitable for people who already possess these attributes.
To make the exercises more accessible to people who wish develop their core, ‘safer’ preparative exercises have been devised to establish sound movement skills and build a foundation upon which to progress. This is how we teach in the Body Control Pilates Method.
All Body Control Pilates teachers are members of the Body Control Pilates association, a ‘not for profit’ organisation that exists to safeguard the standards and quality of Body Control Pilates teaching.
