Description
veryday life wreaks havoc on our bodies. Sitting at a computer for hours, carrying a child on one hip and a heavy bag on the other shoulder, playing tennis--these demands are often repetitive and one-sided, causing us to favor one group of muscles over others. This creates imbalances in our movement and body structure.The focal point of Pilates is the "Core." The primary muscles of the core--the transversus abdominus, multifidus, pelvic floor and diaphragm--encompass and support the torso like a corset. Every exercise is initiated in the core and flows outward to the extremities. Learning to use these muscles to stabilize the pelvis and lumbar spine is essential to counter the increased incidence of chronic back pain and postural alignment stressors.It is this integration of movement from the core to the periphery that makes every Pilates exercise a whole-body exercise. Awareness of each body part in relationship to space, apparatus and skeletal structure brings physical harmony to movement, and balance to musculature. As your awareness and understanding grow, your strength and flexibility increase, the choreography becomes more complex, and the layering and nuance of the work deepens.
