What is Pilates?
Pilates is a method of exercise which emphasizes the balanced development of the body through strength, movement, and mind-body awareness. It is beneficial for all ages and levels of physical ability. Pilates builds a stronger core, better balance, increases flexibility and promotes stability. The results are improved posture, body awareness, more efficient body movement, and increased overall well-being. Pilates is proven to help treat and manage pain by alleviating stress off joints and bones using low-impact exercises.
Pilates can be gentle while also challenging. Pilates engages the whole person, not just the muscles. It enhances your self-awareness making you stronger both physically and mentally. The mind-body integration will enhance stamina and focus and will improve your quality of life. With regular Pilates sessions you will see and feel the difference in your posture and will notice that you can move more freely. It will also help you feel a little more focused and connected to your body each time!
