BREATHING

Breath plays a crucial role in your Pilates practice. When done correctly, it helps to oxygenate muscles, regulate heart rate, and release tension. Synchronizing breath with movements increases the exercises’ effectiveness.

FOCUSING ON THE PILATES PRINCIPLES

CENTERING

Centering refers to the concept of the core - which includes abdominals, lower back, hips, and buttocks. In Pilates, focus is on activating the core to provide a stable base for movement and to improve posture.

CONTROL

This refers to conscious, deliberate muscular control. In Pilates, you must move with intention to ensure the correct muscles are targeted. Practicing control also helps develop strength and endurance.

PRECISION

Precision refers to the attention to detail required for proper execution of the exercises. Each Pilates exercise has a specific purpose and must be performed with precision to achieve best results. Practicing precision also helps to improve overall body awareness, and control.

FLOW

Flow refers to the smooth and fluid movements characteristic of the practice. In Pilates, we strive for a continuous flow of movement, linking one exercise to the next with precision and control to develop coordination and grace.

CONCENTRATION

Concentration is essential for achieving peak results. To perform Pilates exercises correctly, focus must be on the movements and the body’s response to them. This helps engage muscles fully and develop greater body awareness.
