What is Pilates?
Pilates exercises promote strength and balanced muscle development as well as flexibility and overall agility. By raising your overall body awareness it can help you think about how you perform everyday movements, ensuring that your body is working at its optimal level all the time.
Pilates is a non-impact form of exercise system that focuses on:
- Breath and spine awareness
- Developing core strength by using the deep abdominal muscles creating a strong and stable spine.
- Increasing flexibility and range of movement
- Improving postural alignment by strengthening and balancing the muscles of the body
- Co-ordination
- Strengthen and elongating muscles
Pilates is excellent for:
- General fitness and wellbeing
- Assisting in injury prevention and injury rehabilitation
- Developing longer leaner strong muscles
- Dancers and athletes
- Returning to exercise after pregnancy or injury
- The elderly
