Before you begin your exercise programme, it is very important to understand the various aspects of Pilates. This will help you to take the most from your classes and allow you to achieve your goals of Pilates which may include; rehabilitation, injury prevention, pain free movement, stronger core, better posture, improved body awareness and better biomechanics.
Alignment
Correct alignment is required when the body is in motion. Bad patterns of behaviour can effect your posture and muscle balance and lead to aches and pains. Pilates re-balances your muscles for better posture, improving alignment and resistance to injury.
