What are the benefits of Pilates?
Pilates does not cause strain on joints, muscles or organs, it increases metabolism and improves neuro muscular connection (mind-body coordination).
It is about:- Building posture/ postural awareness- Breathing technique- Training core strength- Core initiation/ re-training muscle sequencing/ re-training muscle memory
Pilates is not just exercise, it is a series of controlled movements engaging body and mind, performed on specifically designed exercise apparatus and supervised by extensively trained teachers. Like other forms of exercise, Pilates has also been found to have a beneficial effect on mental health. Evidences show that those who practiced Pilates reported a reduction in symptoms of depression, anxiety, and fatigue, as well as an increase in energy. Pilates is all about mind-body connection and can be a great introduction to holistic approach.
