3 Big Benefits of Pilates

1. Improved Posture - Pilates works to balance your body so that the right muscles are working at the right time. Often our deepest support muscles are left forgotten at the gym when we work to strengthen the muscles that make us look chiseled to the naked eye. Creating strength in all planes of motion allows the body to live in its proper alignment supported by a strong center, lengthened spine, and free from discomfort.

 

2. Better Awareness - Because Pilates connects mind and body through movement, you will start to notice little wonders about your body as your practice continues. Many clients notice that their frame feels more supported within the first few sessions. Your breath becomes deeper and more complete. You may have more energy and feel less winded throughout the day.

 

3. Killer Core Strength - Every exercise is a core exercise in Pilates. We use a principle called centering, which means that all movement should initiate from the torso region of your body or what Joseph Pilates referred to as the "Powerhouse". Most critical elements of your body are located here, and Pilates will create an enormous amount of deep core strength to improve balance, prevent injuries, protect your low back..the list goes on & on.
