皮拉提斯是一種結合東西方運動概念的核心訓練課程，著重於肌力、關節活動度、平衡感與協調性的提升，同時增強對「本體感覺」的認知，進而改善體態與動作品質。
皮拉提斯由德國人 Joseph Pilates 在 19 世紀初創立，並於後期在美國發展，融入芭蕾舞元素，成為獨具特色的訓練方式。如今皮拉提斯廣泛應用於歐美的復健科、物理治療中心、健身房以及專業體育與舞蹈領域，用於動作素質的強化與傷後復健。
皮拉提斯練習遵循「專注、呼吸、核心、控制、精確與流暢」的六大原則，並針對現代生活型態設計，如延展脊柱、提升脊椎活動度、穩定肩頸與調整軀幹排列。課程透過靈活整合的動作，建立穩定的核心與身體控制力，幫助學員打造穩健、協調且充滿活力的身體狀態。
#核心肌力
Pilates is a core-focused training method that blends Eastern and Western movement philosophies. It emphasizes muscle strength, joint mobility, balance, and coordination, while enhancing proprioception—the awareness of one’s body in space—to improve posture and movement quality.
Pilates was developed in the early 20th century by German-born Joseph Pilates and later evolved in the United States, incorporating elements of ballet to create a unique and refined movement system. Today, Pilates is widely practiced across Europe and the U.S. in rehabilitation clinics, physical therapy centers, fitness studios, as well as in professional sports and dance settings for enhancing movement quality and post-injury recovery.
The practice of Pilates follows six core principles: concentration, breathing, centering, control, precision, and flow. It is especially relevant to modern lifestyles, targeting spinal extension, spinal mobility, shoulder and neck stability, and postural alignment. Each class incorporates fluid and integrated movements that build core strength and body control, helping practitioners develop a stable, coordinated, and energized physical state.
