WHAT WILL PILATES GIVE ME

WHAT WILL PILATES GIVE ME?

Strength, Flexibility, Tone and Balance. Pilates is a gentle form of exercise that literally re-introduces you to your own body. And the better you understand your body and how it works, the easier it will be for you to release tension, relax and beat the stresses and strains of life. With a series of mat based exercises, Pilates is designed to strengthen and engage your core waist and lower back muscles, helping improve posture and prevent injury. Pilates will tone muscles creating a happier body and more fluid movement. You will be more aware of your muscles and how they support your body, creating an excellent mind body connection, and providing a great way to relax and beat stress.

IMPROVE YOUR BALANCE AND CO-ORDINATION

Pilates helps improve your balance and co-ordination by realigning your spine and strengthening your "core" muscles. And better balance and co-ordination means fewer injuries.

DEVELOPMENT OF A STRONG, FLEXIBLE BODY

The idea behind Pilates is that if your core abdominal muscles are strong and tone, the rest of your body will be able to follow their lead. The purpose of practicing Pilates is to allow for free and graceful movement among all your body parts.

RELEASE OF TENSION

A great deal of lower back pain comes from poor posture and our daily mistreatment of our spines. By re-aligning your spine and improving your posture, lower back pain can often be eliminated entirely.

INCREASE YOUR STRENGTH AND STAMINA

Pilates helps increase both your strength and stamina without adding unwanted muscle bulk because it focuses on developing your "core" muscles - muscles found in your abdominal and pelvic regions as well as in your back. By toning and stretching these muscles, and by correcting your posture, your natural strength and stamina will improve in leaps and bounds.

YOU ARE NEVER TOO OLD TO TRY PILATES

As we get older, the prospect of going to a gym or running may no longer appeal, but we still benefit immensely from regular exercise. Pilates could be just what you are looking for. Low impact weight bearing exercise helps increase blood flow and maintain and even build bone density.
