5 Key elements of Pilates

  • Postural awareness – to reduce pain from poor postures;
  • Effective breathing - used to release excessive tension and rigidity in the body;
  • Deep abdominal and pelvic control - based on recent medical research, Pilates retrains the use of these muscles to prevent and rehabilitate LBP;
  • Concentration - helps to focus the mind on the body and the way it moves;
  • Movement co-ordination, flow, and stamina - to teach the body to move more freely and efficiently.

Testimonials

Our very patient teacher/physiotherapist takes each of us through the various exercises from the first level, the second, and sometimes further, at our individual paces, encouraging and supporting us throughout. At the end of the hour session, I always feel I have made significant progress.
