Each class starts with a warm up, unlike other exercises our aim is to connect mind and body, to switch off from every day life and not to physically warm up.
We want to check our posture, make sure we are aligned and standing tall and are in neutral spine ( pelvis is level and our natural curve). We activate our core muscles transversus abdominus or pelvic floor. Focus on breathing into the ribcage and then usually follow with some balance and mobility moves to help connect our mind and body and help focus on our core and mobilisation of the joints.
The Movement phase, combination of strength and mobility moves. Usually to begin with you will do fewer moves and more repetitions, as you start to improve in the technique more moves are introduced and less repetitions. Making sure that each movement flows from one to another.
To close the class, bringing awarness back to everyone. Unlike other aerobic style workout, it is not important to cool down. With pilates our aim is to lengthen throughout, so only a few stretches will be preformed and balance moves to help restore focus. So you are fully aware, improved feeling of wellbeing, improved posture and relaxed breathing.
