During class the instructor will continually draw awareness to correct postural alignment and finding support for this with your muscles.\u00a0 This results in improved posture during and after class and throughout the rest of your week as you become more aware of how you hold your body and how you sit, stand, walk and generally move.\u00a0 Through regular Pilates practice you will learn how to correctly position your spine and pelvis and gain strength in your core, back, glutes and leg muscles so that standing up taller becomes much easier.\u00a0<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><strong>Increased flexibility:<\/strong> Another benefit of working your muscles through their full range of motion is improved flexibility. Pilates exercises and dynamic stretches will lengthen and expand muscles which will result in less restricted movement. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Having good overall flexibility will help to prevent injury, improve your posture and overall health.<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><strong>Better balance:<\/strong> Many Pilates movements include an element of balance as you are constantly trying to centre and align your body and muscles correctly when performing the exercises. Better balance will in turn lead to increased stability.\u00a0<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><strong>Better performance in other workouts and sporting activities:<\/strong> Pilates is a very helpful supplement for most other activities, since it brings more awareness into your centre and to postural movement patterns.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> Through regular Pilates training, you will actively support your body\u2019s flexibility, coordination and core strength which are all essential for improving performance in any sport.\u00a0<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><strong>Reduced back pain:<\/strong> The combination of core strengthening- focused exercises and correcting and reinforcing postural alignment, makes Pilates the best antidote for back pain. In addition, during your Pilates session there will be many body lengthening movements which has the result of decompressing your spine which will help to relieve back pain.\u00a0<\/span><\/li><\/ol>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d07a432 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con
