The Pilates method is based on six fundamental principles: centering, breathing, precision, control, concentration, and flow. These principles were the basis for the original 34 moves in the matwork repertoire developed by Joseph Pilates. However, as lifestyles have changed significantly over the years, with more sitting and the use of electronic devices, resulting in postural issues and joint complications, the exercises have been researched, adapted, and modified to address these concerns.
