Benefits of Pilates
The Classical Pilates Method captures the benefits of Eastern exercise philosophies, like yoga, by emphasizing mental focus, breathing, and flexibility.
Practiced faithfully, Pilates yields numerous benefits. Increased lung capacity and circulation through deep, healthy breathing is a primary focus. Strength and flexibility, particularly of the abdomen and back muscles are key components in an effective Pilates program.
Posture, balance, and core strength are all heartily increased. Bone density and joint health improve, and many experience positive body awareness for the first time. Pilates teaches balance and control of the body, and that capacity spills over into other areas of one’s life.
