Pilates is known for being good for your abs but it is actually much more than that At its core it is a practice of mindful movement
Going through the exercises with deep mindfulness was what made Pilates unique from the start. Today its been pushed in the direction of pure fitness but that approach cuts out a huge part of its original intent. The mindbody connection is the key to gaining true transformation. By practicing with mindfulness you will get the benefits both physically and mentally. Breathing and tuning into your body is deeply relaxing for the nervous system and helps relieve tension and stress. Allowing yourself to explore new ways of moving helps to change habits into more healthy movement patterns. Building awareness is just as valuable as building strength, and with a mindful Pilates practice they go hand in hand.
If you’re looking for a practice that gives both the body and mind benefits Pilates fits the bill!
