Pilates is not just a form of exercise, whilst Pilates does improve our core strength, posture and fitness. Pilates provides us with whole body integration. It connects our mind to our body. It helps us build stronger neural pathways. Pilates acts like a manual for your body helping you achieve complete control.
“In 10 sessions, you will feel the difference in 20 sessions you will see the difference in 30 sessions you will be on your way to having a whole new body” Joseph Pilates

Working out extensors is such a necessary evil. It feels hard as it is often correcting our head from phone and computer use 💻 Our extensor muscles are attached to back of the spine and enable standing and lifting objects. These muscles include the large paired muscles in the lower back, called erector spinae, which help hold up the spine, and gluteal muscles. Time to get moving.

Who doesn’t love the Cat/Cow pose in all its variations. This movement helps improve posture and balance and is ideal for those with back pain. The benefits of this synchronized breath movement will also help you relax and ease some of the day's stress. Give it a go next time you feel a little tense.

Full body strength and integration whilst keeping pressure out of your discs is why we love love love our planks! Sometimes the wrist compression can be too strong particularly in individuals with small wrists but the benefit of Pilates is that it can always be modified. 😍

Why progress of exercise is important. The body adapts to exercise quite easily, to whatever workouts we’re consistently performing. So if we continually do the same weights and the same exercises, the body will no longer elicit a response to change. The muscles will not grow or get stronger. So time to up your workout game 🏋️♀️

Our bodies are designed to move! Without adequate movement we not only lose our physical fitness we lose important functions of our body such as range of motion, muscle strength, balance, coordination and we increase our risk of co morbidities related to inactivity such as insulin resistance and osteoporosis. So time to get moving.
