What benefits will I see when I practice Pilates?
For those of you new to Pilates you will be wondering what all the hype is about. Whether it’s true that Pilates can make you feel stronger, more relaxed and even taller?!
You’ll be pleased to know those (among others) are all true!
Take a read below for some of the most common benefits people achieve when they start practicing Pilates…
The most common benefits experienced from regular practice of Pilates are:
Improved posture
Feeling stronger
Less aches and pains
Better balance
Stronger core
and Improved muscle tone.
However some of the unsung heroes that are also felt are:
Confidence
Deeper body awareness
Reduced stress
Improved breathing
and Better focus & concentration.
Pilates uses mind body connection to bring better awareness and precision over your movement. Challenging you to remain focused on exactly how and what you are doing with your body.
This connection fosters an awareness over time that can be felt in your every day life. You will begin to notice how you are standing - therefore improving posture, how you are breathing - improving your overall sense of calm and how you are moving about your everyday life - improving your body awareness to help maintain the strength you will build in class.
Majority of clients I see come to Pilates to improve their ‘core’ because that’s all they know Pilates is good for. However upon practicing regularly they begin to unravel a whole host of benefits that they didn’t even know they needed.
You too can feel these amazing benefits by practicing the art of Pilates. Join a class, find a session online or just learn 2-3 exercises that you can fit into your daily life!
