Foi objetivo do presente estudo verificar as características de mulheres praticantes de Pilates e a opinião destas, quanto a particularidades do método. A pesquisa caracterizou-se como não experimental e descritiva, sendo realizada em 10 diferentes estabelecimentos, de três cidades do norte do Paraná, com 45 mulheres, na faixa etária entre 14 e 73 anos (34,5±10,60), praticantes de Pilates há no mínimo seis meses. Uma entrevista semiestruturada com perguntas abertas e fechadas foi realizada. Para análise foram criadas categorias, de forma a agrupar as respostas por afinidade. Foi possível observar que a maioria das praticantes, procuraram a técnica por apresentarem condições patológicas (40%), e encontraram no método tranquilidade, prazer e identificação (42,23%). Aproximadamente 98% declararam não pensar em parar de praticar Pilates, por perceberem mudanças corporais ao longo do tempo. A maior parte relatou conseguir realizar os movimentos com contração dos estabilizadores da coluna (84,44%), correta respiração (91,11%), com concentração (88,88%), além de realizar os movimentos de forma precisa, controlada e com fluidez (91,11%). Concluiu-se que o método Pilates, tem sido procurado principalmente em casos de reabilitação e possibilita às praticantes, prazer e tranquilidade, não oferecendo dificuldades para o aprendizado dos seis princípios básicos.(AU)
