Strength in Every Movement

I believe that movement is the foundation of strength and mindfulness. Focusing on the synergy between breath and precision to help you achieve long lasting physical and mental harmony.

 

The 6 Principles of Pilates

 

Pilates is a system of exercises that’s based on 6 principles: breath, concentration, centre, control, precision, and flow.

 

Breath – Proper breathing supports movement, engages deep core muscles and helps link the mind/body experience. It forms the foundation of an effective Pilates session.  When you move in harmony with your breath, every exercise becomes more effective and less tense.

​​

Concentration – Focusing on moving from the body’s centre helps create strength and stability.

​​

Control – Movements should be executed with control rather than speed or force.

​​

Precision – Practising precision helps you develop better technique and form, which can improve your performance in Pilates and other physical activities.

​​

Centre – Engaging the deep core muscles to provide stability and support during movement.

​​

Flow – Encourages smooth, continuous transitions between exercises creating a powerful mind body experience.

 

These principles are all important in order to get the most out of your Pilates practice.
