The Benefits of Ikigai Pilates

Why Pilates?

“Through the Pilates Method of Body Conditioning this unique trinity of a balanced body, mind and spirit can ever be attained. Self-confidence follows.” —Joseph Pilates

A unique system of whole mind & body connection. Established in the early 20th century, Pilates uses both equipment and mat work to develop concentration, conditioning, muscular strength and coordination, flexibility and spinal health. Pilates is guided by six main principles; Breath, Concentration, Control, Precision, Centre & Flow.If you have done mat or Reformer classes before, you will quickly begin to see how the other equipment fills in the gaps, and if you are brand new or just considering giving Pilates a go, your body is in for an experience!

“Change happens through movement and movement heals.”—Joseph Pilates

The world is saturated with exercise options, but Pilates is special. It can be your only form of exercise, or it can be used to complement other activities you do, helping you become stronger in your everyday life. Contrary to popular belief, done with full, present breath at a brisk pace, Pilates can also be quite cardio-impactful, and it is completely inclusive to all abilities and levels. It can be safely performed by an older first-time exercising individual, the new pre or post natal mother, the avid HIIT exerciser who has may have developed an injury and is looking for something lower in impact, or the established sportsman.
