Pilates helps to promote an overall wellness by strengthening core muscles, improving balance, flexibility and posture. It encourages us to focus on a mind to muscle connection. We can transfer all of these benefits into our training and everyday life. With a more holistic approach to exercise, Pilates can allow us time out of an otherwise busy life, helping us to reduce stress and encouraging mindfulness with breathing and concentration whilst still exercising to promote muscle tone.
