ABOUT PILATES .... Pilates is a mind-body method. It is a systematic whole-body training. Each muscle group is worked alone and seen in its function for the interaction with other muscle groups. The Pilates principles such as concentration and awareness also lead the participants to a spiritual understanding of the physical movement. Particular attention is given to strengthening the body center; Especially the abdominal and back muscles and the pelvic floor. Along with this activation of the body center and the support of the deep musculature the Pilates method of a good physical attitude increases. In close connection with this, it promotes the stability and mobility of the body. False movement patterns as well as established deficiencies provoke a disadvantageous strain on the body structure as a whole. Tensions and unequally trained muscles restrain their ability to move and lead to overcompensation by other muscle groups. A good body alignment brings about a more effective muscle activity and favors the development of the individual movement potential.
