Short profile:
Pilates matwork is done without the use of equipment, using the body's own weight for resistance. It is a system of movement that educates the muscles, particularly those of the deep abdominals, back, diaphram and pelvic floor, to support the body efficiently and effectively. Pilates is based around 8 principles; Concentration, Breathing, Centering, Control, Precision, Movement, Isolation and Routine.
Detailed description:
The Pilates method of exercise will address postural imbalances by focusing on the deepest layer of abdominal muscles to support the spine, making you feel taller and appear trimmer. Because the muscles are worked systematically, the exercises will not build bulk, only long, lean and strong muscles with increased flexibility and joint mobility. The original Pilates programme consisted of only 34 moves. They were performed without variation in a continuous sequence.
Many of these original movements are now considered to be inappropriate and unsuitable for most people and so at Bodywork-Pilates we encourage and offer modifications to suit the individual. Therefore, anyone can benefit from Pilates- pregnant women, back pain sufferers and elite sports people. There are no age or fitness barriers.
And because of the strong emphasis of mind and body connection, you will feel calmer, more focused and have a much greater awareness of the way your body acts and reacts to the pressures of modern life.
