Posture

Benefits of Pilates

FLEXIBILITY!!! maybe not quite as flexible as this!!!



STRENGTH AND MUSCLE TONE and beautiful technique



MORE EFFICIENT CIRCULATORY SYSTEM



LESS STRESS



A FLAT STOMACH, do this exercise, but maintain a neutral pelvic position. I love how clearly this clip describes how not to do a curl up, and then how to keep the connection of the deep abdominals.



BETTER POSTURE, i love where Johann's Yoga is coming from



REDUCED HEADACHES, with less medication.



REDUCED BACK PAIN, pilates is done mostly lying flat with the least amount of stress on the spine, as well as stretching all the muscles around the pelvic girdle, as well as improve posture, balance, and body awareness.



Just like Hiro in this clip, Pilates will BOOST YOUR IMMUNE SYSTEM!!!



INCREASES BONE DENSITY Osteoporosis and Osteopenia (the precursor to osteoporosis) – loss of bone density that makes people, especially women over 50 vulnerable to fractures and bone breaks, especially of the spine, hips and wrists. Pilates programs can help to increase bone density, but also if you have osteoporosis programs designed specifically to take pressure off the spine, hips, and wrists are used, preventing any risk of bone fractures. You don’t have to be over 50 to be affected by decrease in bone density. Celiac disease can cause Osteopenia, and some cancer treatments can also affect bone density.



SAFE FOR YOU AND YOUR BABY DURING PREGNANCY AND EXCELLENT POST NATAL TOO!!!

The Wrist and Hand

Quite a few of my pilates clients have had wrist problems, this has really made me want to investigate the anatomy of the wrist further.
