Pilates is an exercise
technique that aims to balance the body. Focusing mindfully
on the flow of body movements, Pilates integrates the body and the
mind.
Combining
mat and equipment exercises you will increase the flexibility and
stability of your "core" - the deep skeletal muscles in
your abdomen, back and pelvic area.
Pilates
emphasizes core strength - thereby increasing overall strength.
Core strength is important for both simple tasks like standing and
walking to more complex movements like sports activities and dance.
Pilates
is well known for its benefits in both rehabilitation and injury
prevention. Results are achieved through gentle stretching
and strengthening of supporting muscles. Performed correctly,
the supporting muscles can then be strengthened allowing you to
develop a strong muscular and skeletal support system, giving you
greater range of motion, ideal alignment and injury prevention.
