Pilates lengthens and stretches all the major muscle groups in the body in a balanced fashion. The Pilates method is taught to suit each person and exercises are regularly re-evaluated to ensure they are appropriate for that person. Due to the individual attention, this method can suit everybody from elite athletes to people with limited mobility, pregnant women and people with low fitness levels. The health benefits of Pilates include: improved flexibility, increased muscle strength and tone, particularly of your abdominal muscles, lower back, hips and buttocks (the ‘core muscles’ of your body), balanced muscular strength on both sides of your body, enhanced muscular control of your back and limbs, improved stabilization of your spine, improved posture, rehabilitation or prevention of injuries related to muscle imbalances, improved physical coordination and balance, relaxation of your shoulders, neck and upper back, safe rehabilitation of joint and spinal injuries, prevention of musculoskeletal injuries, increased lung capacity and circulation through deep breathing, improved concentration, increased body awareness,stress management and relaxation. Our studio provides: Mat-based Pilates – this is a series of exercises performed on the floor using gravity and your own body weight to provide resistance. The main aim is to condition the deeper, supporting muscles of your body to improve posture, balance and coordination. Equipment-based Pilates – this includes specific equipment that works against spring-loaded resistance, including the ‘reformer’, which is a movable carriage that you push and pull along its tracks. Moreover, we have the chair, cadillac and barrel. Pilates consists of moving through a slow, sustained series of exercises using abdominal control and proper breathing. The quality of each posture is more important than the number of repetitions or how energetically you can move. Pilates is based on putting yourself into unstable challenging postures.
