Benefits
While the Pilates method specifically focuses on strengthening the deep core muscles, at the same time it teaches good posture, breathing, flexibility, joint mobility and balance. It can also help alleviate back, neck and shoulder blade pains.
It is a safe, mind-body system in which the exercises are performed on a mat, utilizing various props such as mini-balls, fitness circles, elastic bands, fitness balls and dumbbells, or, on specifically designed equipment.
