Pilates Principles
Discover the Strength in Your Body, the Power of Your Mind
The Fundamental Concepts of Pilates
- Joseph H. Pilates
There are several variations of Pilates Principles, ranging from those that Joseph Pilates pioneered in the early 1900's to contemporary adaptations that incorporate modern understanding of fitness, anatomy and biomechanics.
Essentially the Pilates Principles are as follows:
* Concentration - That all important mind-body connection.
Conscious control of movement enhances body awareness.
* Control - It's not about intensity or multiple repetitions, it's more about proper form for safe effective results.
The focus is on Quality not on Quantity ...
* Centering - A mental focus within the body calms the spirit.
A particular focus on the torso, as develops a strong core and enables the rest of the body to function efficiently.
All action initiates from the trunk and flows outward to the extremities.
* Breathing - Deep, coordinated, conscious diaphragmatic patterns of inhales and exhales initiate movement.
It helps activate deep muscles and keep you focused.
* Alignment - Proper alignment is key to good posture.
You'll be aware of the position of your head and neck on the spine and pelvis, right down through the legs and toes.
* Fluidity - Smooth, continuous motion rather that jarring jerky repetitions.
Pilates has grace and elegance to it.
* Integration - Several different muscle groups are engaged simultaneously to control and support movement.
All principles come together, making for a holistic mind-body workout.
