Increase core strength; we focus on engaging the deepest core muscles for improved whole body stability and strength
Decrease in back pain; see above- our back is part of our core! By strengthening the transverse abdominis (TVA), we can provide a basis of security and support for our backs
Improve mind-body connection; the beauty in being able to think it…and then do it!
Gain flexibility and strength in your everyday movements; Pilates was invented as a form of functional exercising to help us live more efficiently and in balance
Improve performance of sports/other workouts; many golfers, tennis players, runners, and cyclists have found increased efficiency in their sport
Improve posture; we focus on length in opposition in Pilates and this can help us find that reach and lift in our posture, all while working on opening the shoulders, aligning the head and neck, lifting our sternum…the list goes on!
