about Pilates
-Lynn Craig
The Pilates method is a system of movement and corrective exercise that instills uniform balance and strength, translating into grace and ease of movement. Pilates gently and methodically rids the body of deep-seeded patterns of resistance and inefficiency. Ultimately, Pilates transforms the body, returning it towards it natural and most ideal form.
Genuinely practicing Pilates does more than make one "good at Pilates"; it transcends itself beyond class. Pilates helps shift you towards health in everyday life. Sensations and health benefits one can expect from practicing Pilates:
- Heightened concentration, patience, and mental balance
- Easier ability to move in one's day-to-day life due to less aches and pains and greater coordination and grace of movement
- Toning of deep postural muscles resulting in finer statute and poise
- Feeling uplifted, gathered, taller, lighter
- Enhanced bodily integrity and mental/emotional clarity
