There are many reasons why Pilates is so popular. For starters, this slow and controlled exercise ​​can be done any time, any place. All you need is a flat surface and a yoga mat to provide some grip and comfort as you perfect your practice.

Secondly, Pilates might be a type of strength workout but it’s low impact meaning it’s accessible to the masses. Designed to strengthen your core and better your posture, Pilates was first created to prevent injuries. So you get a lot of bang for your buck.
