Unlike yoga, Pilates is primarily aimed at the body and is more of a physical activity than a philosophy of life. This discipline is gentle gymnastics inspired by yoga.
Compared to yoga, Pilates is a very recent discipline, since it was only “invented” around the 1920s by a sports enthusiast and the human body: Joseph Pilates. As a matter of fact, it was the stretching of wild animals as well as the gestures of great sportsmen (associated with yoga) that inspired the creator of this sporting activity.
This method mainly offers deep bodybuilding, better natural position, physical harmony and better joint mobility to draw the body. Typically, it is for anyone who wants to slim down and strengthen different parts of the body (especially the abdominals and back).
The goal is to exercise the deep muscles, relax the joints and adopt good postures. The practice takes place by performing several sets of exercises interspersed with breaks, which allow you to take stock of the posture, to readjust if necessary. The correct positioning of the pelvis and the spine is indeed at the heart of every session. These cuts also make it possible to verify that it is indeed the deep muscles that are working. Therefore, Pilates provides greater flexibility, greater awareness of the body, and reduces muscle tension.
The most important principle of this discipline is breathing. In fact, the work of breathing takes up a lot of space in the gentle Pilates gym. For Joseph Pilates, humans breathe poorly and therefore the human body functions poorly because of breathing. Indeed, we adopt bad postures in our daily life because we do not breathe in the right way, and Pilates allows you to relearn how to breathe well.
This practice has many benefits to improve your daily life. It helps strengthen your deep muscles and improve your posture. Your figure is refined and becomes more sporty, your posture is straight and gives you an elegant look and the strengthening of your back muscles makes you forget your back pain. Strengthening your spine and core muscles will eliminate the risk of injury and allow you to better withstand all the shocks and impacts you encounter in your daily life.
Charline and Fanny will be happy to introduce you to this discipline.
