It is important to start any exercise in a position that is tension-free. If there is already tension before starting, too much stress will be created once movement begins. So before you even start your Pilates movements, take a moment to clear you head… let all the static noise of the outside world leave and allow your body to connect with your breath. Breathing is vital part of every step of Pilates, from start to finish your breathing needs to neutral and purposeful.

Everything we do with our body that involves movement- from walking to playing any sport to navigating the streets of a busy city or the beaches of a sunny paradise starts with a foundation. The aim of Pilates is to develop optimal neuromuscular performance by focusing on core stability, while safely balancing muscular strength with flexibility.
