All About Pilates

Pilates Thought for the Week

The best way to get the most of a Pilates session is to pay particular attention to your form while you perform the movement. Pilates is not just doing an exercise. Pilates is a method of thinking where your body is placed in space while you move. If you pay attention to the placement of your spine, pelvis and shoulder girdle while you execute any of the exercises you will get maximum value. Your muscles will be worked in proper form as you work on the Pilates Reformer, Pilates Mat, Stability Chair and Tower resulting in musculature that is firmly developed and properly strengthened. Along with deep breath and focus you can expect to feel a change in how your body moves and performs daily tasks with more freedom and power!

Enjoy your Pilates practice. It is essential to optimum health and well being.
