Pilates encourages participants to be fully present in their bodies, promoting a mind-body connection and enhancing concentration and awareness.

Pilates exercises are characterised by their precision and control. Movements are slow and deliberate, emphasising quality over quantity.

Pilates incorporates stretching and flexibility exercises that promote improved joint mobility and muscle lengthening.

While the core is the primary focus, Pilates engages muscles throughout the body, including the legs, arms, shoulders, and back.

Pilates emphasises proper alignment, which can lead to improved posture, reduced risk of lower back pain, and greater spinal stability.

Pilates is typically low-impact, making it accessible to individuals with joint issues or injuries.
