Description
Physical fitness is the first requisite of happiness." Joseph H. Pilates
The Pilates Method is a series of exercises developed by Joseph H. Pilates suitable for all fitness levels and ages.
It is perfect for anyone interested in reaching whole body wellness as it promotes physical and mental vitality. Built on the guiding key principles of centering, control, concentration, breathing, precision, and flow, pilates can help improve flexibility, core strength, balance, posture, energy levels, muscle tone, body awareness and injury prevention. It is also a fabulous way to de-stress at the end of the day, or to bring focus and energy to your morning.
Come join us! The class is aimed at beginner level, but will also cater for those wishing to extend themselves with intermediate exercises.
Pilates identifies six core guiding principles to allow you to gain the most benefits from the exercises.
Pilates guiding principles
- Centering - the 'centre' or 'powerhouse' is the focal point of the Pilates Method: a group of muscles (it includes the abdominal muscles, lower back muscles, pelvic floor, muscles around the hips, and the butt muscles) extending from the pelvic floor to the rib cage that work together to produce a supportive corset for the body.
- Control - all exercises are done with control: mind and body operate together to ensure effective movement.
- Concentration - bringing ones mind to the body so each exercise is carried out with full commitment and focus, so you get the maximum value.
- Breathing - Joseph Pilates emphasized a full breath in exercises and coordinated breath to the rhythm of the movement to ensure maximum oxygen to the body tissues. Some exercises are specifically breathing exercises.
- Precision - The little things count! "It is not how many, but the how". One precise and perfect movement is better than many less effective ones.
- Flowing movement - Graceful and flowing movement is achieved through the use of appropriate transitions and rhythm. The energy exerted during the exercises connects all body parts smoothly.
Safety is always involved in every aspect of the Pilates work-out. If you have specific conditions or body issues please advise so the tutor can, in advance, plan a safe workout.
What to bring
Wear comfortable clothing that allows movement. Bring a yoga mat or blanket for the floor.
