Pilates & Mindful Movement

What is Pilates?

Pilates is a low-impact form of exercise that focuses on strengthening the core, improving posture, enhancing flexibility, and building overall body awareness. Developed by Joseph Pilates in the early 20th century, this method emphasises controlled movements, precise alignment, and mindful breathing.

Unlike high-intensity workouts, Pilates works with your body to build strength from the inside out, creating balance, stability, and resilience.

Benefits of Pilates

Practicing Pilates regularly can help:

• Strengthen core muscles and improve posture

• Increase flexibility and mobility

• Support injury recovery and prevention

• Enhance balance and coordination

• Reduce stress through mindful, controlled movement

What is Mindful Movement?

Mindful movement is the practice of moving with awareness. It combines physical exercise with mindfulness techniques to create a holistic experience that nourishes both the body and the mind. By focusing on the breath, body sensations, and intentional movements, mindful movement cultivates presence, grounding, and calm.

This approach can be integrated into Pilates sessions to deepen the mind-body connection and promote overall well-being.
