Why Pilates?
It’s no secret that Americans are some of the most out-of-shape people on earth. It’s also common knowledge that many of the physical aches and pains we experience have strong psychological and spiritual roots -- and that everything from work to current events can leave many of us feeling overwhelmed, stressed, tired or even depressed
For many people, the powerful mind-body-spirit practice of Pilates has proven to be the perfect antidote. A nurturing yet challenging form of exercise, Pilates is an ideal way to get in shape. Depending on how often you practice, its physical benefits include:
- Improving tone
- Building muscle
- Increasing flexibility
- Greater energy
- Improving strength
- And even losing weight
Just as important, Pilates is wonderful tool for making peace with your body and incorporating a greater sense of calm and well-being into your daily life. While most people begin the practice because they want to look good, most stay with it because it makes them feel better, too. They appreciate the fact that Pilates is about the “whole,” and they enjoy the improvements it brings in many areas of their lives. Pilates truly is more than “just another workout.” It’s a way of life – one you’ll be glad you pursued. |
