What benefits do you get from Pilates?

• Pilates will improve your posture and can even regain
   lost height.

• Muscle strength is improved which will tone and shape    the body. Muscle strength is vital to be able to
   efficiently support the skeleton.

• Posture can be dramatically improved, thereby
   resolving many back and joint problems that occur
   because of muscle weakness and poor alignment.

• Flexibility is improved which allows freer movement
   within the joints and increased mobility.

• Breathing technique improves the efficiency of the
   lungs, circulation and blood supply to the muscles.

• Concentration should also improve.

• Stress levels may also be dramatically improved

Pilates is a lifestyle, so the principles should be worked every day in everyday situations.

The exercises re-align, lengthen and strengthen any imbalances. How often you do them, depends upon what you want to achieve. A general guideline is to do a little and often.
