Pilates is a holistic exercise system designed to elongate, strengthen
and restore the body to balance; so much more than just building a
'strong core' or 'perfect posture'.Exercises involve the whole body and
are performed on spring-assisted apparatus or a mat, sometimes utilising
small equipment.Pilates is effective as it addresses underlying
structural imbalances in the body which can create on-going pain and
difficulty with movement. The whole body is considered. Lengthened and
strengthened muscles improve posture and overall fitness and retrain
dysfunctional movement patterns, restoring optimum physical
function.Regardless of age, ability or fitness level, Pilates is
beneficial for everyone.Regular practitioners of Pilates feel a
heightened sense of awareness and ease in their bodies, experiencing
less pain and increased mobility. This freedom ultimately leads to
increased satisfaction in life!
