I am very proud to add Pilates to the list of services I can offer clients here on the Redcliffe Peninsula. 1 on 1 session for Pilates Mat and Reformer, and also small groups up to 5 for Pilates Mat.
The Pilates exercise system was developed by Joseph Pilates in the 1920s. He created a unique sequence of movements that worked the mind and muscle in harmony. The traditional method is low-impact, focusing on flexibility, muscular strength and endurance. The exercises are performed with an emphasis on precision technique; balanced postural alignment; core strength; controlled, flowing movements; and using the breath to centre the mind.
The Pilates Reformer evolved from Joseph working as an orderly at an infirmary. He engineered a way to rig springs on hospital beds to offer light resistance exercise to bedridden patients. His first exercise studio was opened in 1926, New York. Ballet dancers loved it as it helped create long, lean muscles and a strong, streamlined physique.
Pilates Mat and Reformer are now very popular with top athletes and Hollywood stars. Also, most Physiotherapy offices now use Pilates as a rehabilitation tool as more research finds how important core stability & strength is in injury management.
I obtained my Pilates qualifications from Studio Pilates International. They emphasis that Pilates helps improve your mental stamina and releases endorphins, helping you feel positive and energised. It helps improve concentration, stress management and relaxation.
Pilates = Endorphins = Happiness.
