Comprehensive Teacher Training
Pilates is a nearly 100-year-old system of corrective exercise now considered the standard for core stabilization. A popular term in modern fitness, core stability simply means that a body can move selected parts while keeping others still or stable. In particular, this refers to the support and stability of the spine, the key to function for any healthy body.
The Pilates Method focuses on the following principles:
- Attention to breath
- Concentration
- Control of the whole body throughout a movement
- Centering
- Flowing movement
- Precision
Consistent Pilates practice enhances:
- Awareness of postural habits or movement patterns
- Balance
- Circulation
- Oxygenation
- Elongation of muscles
- Uniform balance of muscles
- Decompression of spine and all other joints
