Pilates Movement Classes - Class Descriptions:
Pilates for Core Health (suitable for all) - designed to radiate strength from the inside, yet maintaining suppleness & ease on the outside. Re-balance strategies to support health.
Key Benefits:
- Learn to breathe well & calm the nervous system. Understand the internal dynamics of the diaphragm & natural core support.
- Understand the organisation of the head, neck & shoulder alignment & how posture affects the load & forces on spinal segments.
- Learn to lengthen the central axis of your spine, including awareness of your pelvic alignment to take the pressure off a compacted, compressed posture & provide an internal tensegrity system of support.
- Learn how to house your spine in a balanced system of flexibility with a natural response of integrated deep core stabilisation. Deep core control is not just about engaging your abdominal muscles.
