5 of the Principles of Pilates:

     
  Pilates requires mental focus, concentration and awareness. Joseph Pilates believed you could become fit and healthy only if you trained your mind to control the actions of your body. Every movement matters.  
     
 
     
  Proper breathing is a guiding principle and a goal for every exercise. Structured breathing will enhance and ease your movements.  
     
     
  All movements originate from the core of the body outward. A strong center is essential for good health, improved posture, grace and balance.  
     
     
  Disciplined, precise controlled movements are the backbone of all Pilate’s exercises. Precision will elevate each exercise from superficial to intense.  
     
     
  Retraining your body to walk, sit, stand and move correctly, giving you more energy and vitality for life.
