Explore The Art of Movement
Fitness is a deeply personal journey, but if you were to ask us, there’s no better form of daily self-love than Pilates.
Developed in the early 20th century, by German physical trainer, Joseph Pilates, this form of holistic exercise revitalises the mind and body.
Pilates can be an invaluable tool for laying a strong physical foundation, as well as developing a healthy emotional and mental state of being.
Read on as we highlight the top 5 benefits of Regular Pilates.
Here’s how it can transform your reality.
Increases strength and mobility
Pilates as a practice focuses on nurturing the core, the centre of your body from where all movement flows. Regular Pilates exercises work to strengthen core muscles (abdomen, mid to lower back, buttocks, hips), thereby improving joint stability, and making your body more resilient and flexible.
Improves posture and balance
Pilates helps you achieve better posture for a more confident you. Regular Pilates workouts help to align the spine and increase core and back strength. What’s more, this form of movement focuses on the body’s orientation, the ideal range of motion at the joints, as well as a balance of all opposing muscles.
Enhances energy and vigour
Pilates makes every day stronger and more vibrant. By focusing on the breath, this form of exercise helps improve cardiorespiratory capacity. Daily Pilates also stimulates feel-good hormones, oxygen flow, and blood circulation. The result? A boost of energy like never before.
Safeguards against injury
Your body will thank you for the gift of Pilates. Not only does it help prevent injury, but it has incredible restorative properties that aid in the recovery journey. By inculcating Pilates into your daily routine, you are better able to support and stabilise your joints while moving.
Boosts mental wellbeing
Apart from the physical benefits, this mind-body practice works wonders to enhance self awareness and manage thoughts and feelings. The inward focus and use of breath in Pilates helps to regulate the nervous system, which in turn, lowers cortisol, and decreases stress.
