Pilates is a series of exercises which are either performed on a mat or on specialist equipment. The exercises are designed to strengthen and streamline your body with an emphasis on core stability.
Body Control Pilates is remarkably effective – and medically-approved. It is of an holistic nature, being based upon a well-constructed philosophical foundation. Central to the Method is ‘awareness of your own body’ and each and every exercise is built around its eight basic principles:
- Relaxation
- Co-ordination
- Alignment
- Stamina
- Concentration
- Centring
- Breathing
- Flowing Movements
