Pilates

Pilates is a whole body and mind exercise method that helps us deepen our own understanding of how we move. The movements require concentration and precision to gain full advantage. The benefits are far-reaching. Pilates workouts will strengthen and lengthen the leg, arm, back and stomach muscles. This will develop the core muscles of the abdominals, back and pelvis. Over time it will improve coordination, posture and balance.Fully comprehensive classical Pilates training involves working through a system using all the apparatus.

The Principles

Control
To bring full control of the mind and the body to all Pilates movements in order to fully benefit from the exercises.

Concentration
To bring full attention to the exercise and to perform it with full commitment in order to achieve maximum value from each movement.

Breath
Use the natural rhythm of the breath to enhance the fluidity of the movement. Use a full breath and focus on the exhalation in the movement.

Precision
The precision of the movement builds upon concentration, centering and control. Practice the precision of the movements in order, to create a well aligned and balanced body. It is not what you do but how you do it.

Flow
Pilates exercises should be performed with energy and flowing movement – looking light and graceful to the observer. Above all allow the movement of the exercises to heal the body.
