It is an exercise method which relies on strengthening core postural muscles and developing body alignment.
It avoids the muscle and ligament damage, sometimes associated with other fitness regimes. Pilates is remarkably effective - and medically-approved. It is of an holistic nature, being based upon a well-constructed philosophical foundation. Central to the Method is 'awareness of your own body' and each and every exercise is built around relaxation, concentration, co-ordination, centring, alignment, breathing, stamina and flowing movements.
Your body awareness is heightened by bringing together mind and body - Body Control Pilates literally teaches you to be in control of your body, allowing you to handle stress more effectively and achieve relaxation more easily.
By working in the deep architectural structure of the body, 'core stability' is achieved, and then maintained, through increasingly complex movement sequences. Specific problem-areas can be targeted by an exercise, but always in relation to the rest of one's body.
The Method can work for everyone, regardless of fitness level! Exercises are mat based so there is no need for special equipment, and the exercises are particularly safe for those with back problems.
