“A man is as young as his spinal column.”

The spine, for Joseph Pilates, was the key to physical and emotional well being. Neutral spine alignment is everything. “If your spine is stiff at 30,” he once said, “you are old. If it is flexible at 60, you are young.” Pilates develops the deep muscles of the back and abdomen to support your spine, and focuses on breathing to promote better posture.
