What is it?
Pilates is a form of exercise that focuses on controlled movements, breathing techniques, and mindful body awareness to tone and strengthen the muscles, improve posture and flexibility, and enhance overall physical and mental well-being.
What are the benefits?
Pilates typically engages the core muscles, including the abdominals, back, and pelvic floor, and emphasizes the integration of the whole body. The practice of Pilates promotes a sense of balance, mind-body connection and harmony, and can be a valuable tool for injury prevention, rehabilitation and stress reduction.
Who is it for?
Pilates is suitable for all levels, from beginners to advanced. This is because the exercises not only can be built in difficulty, but also every exercise can be modified to decrease or increase the level of challenge.
