Joseph Pilats (born 1883 in Germany) believed our modern lifestyle, bad posture and inefficient breathing were the roots of ill health. His answer to these problems was to design a unique series of vigorous physical exercises that help to correct muscular imbalances and improve posture, coordination, balance, strength, and flexibility, as well as to increase breathing capacity and organ function. 

The Franklin Method® is recognized by health providers in Switzerland and is regularly seen at Pilates, Yoga and Physiotherapy conferences.

One of the greatest discoveries of the 21st century is the plasticity of the brain; that the lives we live shape the brain we develop. The Franklin Method® is at the forefront of practical neuroplasticity; showing you how to use your mind to body function. 

This method, based on fundamental scientific research, brings efficiency to all physical treatments, trainings and/or rehabilitation. 

Studio Zuid has worked for over ten years combining Franklin Method® anatomical awareness to the Pilates repertoire 🪢P&F offering a unique movement education that truly balances the mind to body connection.
