SO WHAT IS PILATES?
Pilates is a mind-body exercise that evolved
from the principles of Joseph Pilates. It is a safe and effective
exercise system done on the floor mat and various types of large and
small apparatus. Pilates exercises are performed very carefully in a
controlled way, with concentration and breathing, helping you connect
with your body. There is not as much emphasis on heavy weight and
repetitions as there is on isolating muscles and quality movement and
positioning. Lessons follow a block system to ensure a total body
workout.
WHAT CAN PILATES DO?
Pilates can strengthen your core, increase
flexibility, better alignment, prevent injury, build long, lean
muscles, improve circulation and raise metabolism in addition to
fitness benefits. Pilates exercise can also be beneficial to people
with chronic health issues because it uses deep, healthy breathing to
increase lung capacity, circulation and energy level. Most of all,
pilates will make you feel good, bring you body-mind awareness,
relieve stress and achieve balance.
