Lifestyle Pilates

While Pilates is exercise, it also teaches mind-body control, focus and awareness. Both Mat and Reformer Pilates can lead to injury prevention (and rehabilitation) and less pain. People tend to feel more confident, self-reliant and strong after committing to the Pilates Lifestyle. Pilates can help to re-shape the body (i.e., longer, leaner muscles and narrower waistline) however; it is unrealistic to expect drastic weight loss with Pilates exercise alone- cardiovascular exercise and altered diet is generally also required.

​

Pilates is particularly helpful for people experiencing the following:

Spinal pain, especially Low back pain

Limb misalignment leading to joint pain

Balance issues

Pregnancy (discomfort, diastasis reci, pelvic floor retraining)

Incontinence
