    Benefits of the Pilates Method

    Pilates has wide applicability for those individuals who seek:

    • Longer, leaner muscles (less bulk, more freedom of movement).
    • An improved posture.
    • Increased core strength/stability and peripheral mobility.
    • Greater resistance to injury.
    • Balance between strength and flexibility.
    • Heightened body awareness.
    • Enhanced functional fitness and ease of movement.
    • Improved performance in sport.
    • Improved balance, co-ordination and circulation.

    Pilates improves core strength and balances the muscles around the joints.  It specifically focuses on breathing, pelvic placement, rib-cage placement, scapular movement, knee tracking and correct neck placement.

    Pilates is a controlled approach to mind and body fitness and combines strengthening, stretching, breathing and controlled movements.  It is an effective and safe workout that is suitable for all ages, gender and fitness levels.  Pilates is progression-based fitness. Pilates technique engages the mind and the body to provide a full body workout.
