Benefits of Pilates


Strengthen Your Pelvic Floor Stress incontinence - or passing a little bit of urine when you sneeze or cough - is something you might be all too familiar with after having given birth, Pilates works to strengthen those muscles to improve this.

Get A Full-Body Workout

Pilates exercises target every muscle in the body and work your muscles under tension. This in turn helps to build muscle, strengthen and tone the whole body.

Improve Your Posture

As your muscles strengthen and develop, your body aligns and becomes stronger which then improves your posture.

Coordination and balance are also likely to improve.

Reconnect With Your Breath

Focus on deep breathing is required during the movements and between movements. When we are stressed, we develop quick and shallow breathing responses which are connected to our fight or flight survival instincts. Pilates focuses on slowing the breathing down which serves to shake the deep breathing that may have developed in response to the stress patterns.
