Pilates Principles - Control 🌱
Joseph Pilates originally called his method “Contrology” which gives us no doubt about what he wanted people to achieve with their movement.
"The Pilates method of body conditioning is gaining the mastery of your mind over the complete control of your body."
He believed that every movement should be controlled and precise. Pilates isn't just about physical exercise; it's also about training your mind to control your body with intention.
That’s why we focus on slow steady movements in our classes.
In our reformer classes we work both against the springs and resisting the pull of the springs on the return of the carriage.
In our mat classes we work on controlling our body movements without the help the springs can sometimes provide.
In studio class we use the Cadillac, ladder barrel and Wunda chair to challenge our Pilates movements further.
All so you can get the full befits of the Pilates method 💚
