| What is Pilates |
|
Pilates is a body conditioning method that improves strength, flexibility, mind/body connection and posture without unnecessary strain. The technique focuses on learning how to properly engage the abdominals and core musculature and corrects imbalances and weaknesses.
People practise pilates for a variety of reasons ranging from reduction of pain caused from faulty alignment, to getting a balanced and effective whole body workout. A Pilates workout will leave you feeling refreshed and invigorated with every muscle having been stretched and strengthened.
Who is it good for?
It has a great deal to offer to a broad range of people, including elite athletes, pregnant ladies, older adults, growing adolescents and for all of us wanting to just feel great.
