Why Pilates is more than just a workout

Curious about Pilates? It’s more than just a workout.    .

Any person who’s been doing it for at least a couple of months knows that Pilates doesn’t only restructure your body but it also clears your mind and gives you energy and inner peace.

But what is so special about Pilates? Below are the benefits of Pilates.

Pilates exercise focuses on postural symmetry, breath control, abdominal strength and stability, spine, pelvis and shoulder stabilization, muscle flexibility, joint mobility and strengthening through the complete range of motion of all joints instead of isolating muscle groups, the whole body is trained, integrating the upper and lower extremities with the trunk.

 After practicing Pilates for 5 years and teaching it for 3 years I’ve seen changes in my body and mind as well and also observed the same transformations in my clients. Most people go to a Pilates class to get a flat tummy, ease joint pains and discomforts, rehabilitate after surgery or improve their athletic performance. Pilates can do all of that!

However, the most amazing transformation happens when clients start seeing changes not only in their body and mind but also in their emotions.

Our world is full of distractions, stresses and chaos. We are all looking for a personal state of peace and tranquility that would help us make sense of everything that is going on in our lives. When searching for that inner balance we usually consider techniques such as meditation but Pilates is rarely a consideration for mind and body.
