Pilates offers the perfect combination of exercises and stretches, using your body weight, springs, balls and exercise equipment.
Among the many benefits of the Pilates method is correct posture. Pilates helps improve posture and balance while promoting proprioception (understanding of your own body in space), also helping to reduce stress and decompress the spine. Aligning the spine and achieving a neutral posture is the main goal of the class with results that will last much longer after the 60 minute class. At the same time, deep breaths will enhance the feeling of relaxation and guide each movement.
Changes and poses are done slowly and in a controlled manner that maintains the necessary tension, while developing toned muscles and increasing the body's endurance. Depending on your overall fitness and the effort you put into the class, you can expect to burn around 200 to 300 calories in a 1-hour class.
