The pilates method is a holistic approach to wellness. Pilates training conditions the entire body using specific positions and movement in order to correct body alignment and balance. Pilates equipment integrates springs, pulleys and gravity to tone the muscles of the body in a unique way with special emphasis on the deep intrinsic muscles. Proper breathing, alignment and execution are emphasized.
This method of exercise was developed by Joseph Pilates as a form of rehabilitation to strengthen his own body. He believed that a mind body connection leads to long term health and well being.
Pilates is a total body workout that can be performed on a mat or on pilates equipment.
Pilates emphasizes strengthening the muscles of the core (the deep abdominal muscles) as well as the muscles surrounding the spine. This produces flatter abs and a stronger back resulting in better posture. It will challenge you both mentally and physically, yet you will not feel drained or exhausted after each session. Clients actually feel energized afterward.
Practicing pilates routinely, will improve your balance and agility while creating a stronger, leaner, more flexible and toned body.
