Pilates involves mastery of mind, control, concentration, persistence, patience, breath, centering, precision, flexibility, flow of movement, posture and relaxation.
Today, many people from all walks of life, with varying health conditions do Pilates. Pilates draws upon research and findings in physiotherapy, kinesiology, anatomy, physiology, biomechanics and ideas from movement therapies. It caters, therefore, for all abilities and levels and works with the individual and their current level and capabilities. Pilates is about understanding the body and increasing awareness of one’s physical, mental, emotional and spiritual body. It concentrates upon working in a neutral spine, neutral pelvis and neutral neck alignment maintaining the body’s natural curves. It establishes correct recruitment of muscles and addresses overworked muscles of the body.
