On Saturday 1st May 2021, many people around the world will celebrated World Pilates Day.
Every year, on the first Saturday of May, people from around the world come together to celebrate World Pilates Day. Founded by the Pilates Method Alliance, it is a way for people to celebrate such as exceptional exercise, designed to transform bodies and minds, and has been for many decades now.
Joseph Pilates, the founder of Pilates, once said ‘Pilates is the complete coordination of body, mind and spirit.’
And he wasn’t wrong in his statement, as his revolutionary exercises are seemingly endless. A balm and strengthener of the mind and body, Pilates allows students to play, explore, sweat and surrender.
