benefits of pilates

 Pilates strengthens and targets the core muscles (the deep muscles of the back, abdomen and pelvic floor) through static and dynamic movements, to develop stability and endurance. Creating long, lean, strong muscles throughout the whole body. 

 Pilates encourages mindfulness of the body with its main principles being control, precision, concentration and breathing with the movements. Allowing a release of tension and a sense of well being.  

 Pilates gently stretch and elongate muscles allowing greater joint movement and flexibility, results in less stiffness, pain and injuries.  

 Pilates promotes correct alignment of the spine that is supported by a strong core. It improves the breath and circulation, stimulating the spine and muscles.
