Pilates was started by the man who gave it its name, Joseph Pilates. Joseph Pilates began to teach his own exercise program during World War I in England. Forced into an internment camp he taught his exercise program, which combined Yoga and ancient Roman techniques, to fellow internees. At the time he called the program Controlology. Later Pilates' wife, a nurse, would modify his exercise program so that injured patients would be able to use it. She helped make it what it is today. A well designed exercise program that anyone can do regardless of physical conditioning. Joseph Pilates past away in 1967 but he is far from forgotten.
