Breathing is integral to Pilates practice and plays a critical role in every movement. Deep, controlled breathing helps oxygenate the muscles, enabling better performance and endurance.
This principle ensures that each exercise engages the appropriate muscles and supports safe execution, preventing strain or injury. Control helps develop strength and balance, ensuring that all movements are intentional.
Pilates emphasises using the core, often referred to as the "powerhouse," which includes the abdominals, lower back, hips, and glutes. Centering ensures that all movements originate from this strong, stable base.
Flow refers to the smooth, continuous nature of movements in Pilates. Exercises are not isolated but flow from one to the next in a graceful and controlled manner. This fluidity enhances coordination and balance.
Precision emphasises the importance of executing movements with accuracy, focusing on the quality of movement over quantity. In Pilates, small adjustments and precise actions are key to targeting specific muscle groups.
Pilates requires full mental focus on each movement. By concentrating on the task at hand, you enhance the mind-body connection, ensuring that every action is performed with purpose and precision.
We use two Cosmic Beam 2400w Infrared heaters placed at either end of the studio to allow heat to be dispersed equally throughout. We chose infrared rather than other form of heating due to the significant benefits it has on our bodies.
Infrared has long been used in many healing practices, it is the same sort of heat you would feel if you were outside on a warm sunny day in winter. Infrared works differently in that it heats objects rather than the air. Humans emit radiant heat naturally, making us in extremely proficient at absorbing it as well.
