What is Pilates?
Body Control Pilates is based on the method of body-conditioning
and training founded by Joseph Pilates. It's a way of exercising
which strengthens the core postural muscles and developing body
alignment. It avoids any muscle and ligament damage, that happens
with other fitness regimes.
Body Control Pilates is very effective and medically
approved. It is of an holistic nature, being based upon a well-constructed
philosophical foundation. Central to the Method is 'awareness of
your own body' and each and every exercise is built around its eight
basic principles:
- Relaxation
- Concentration
- Co-ordination
- Centring
- Alignment
- Breathing
- Stamina
- Flowing Movements
