Welcome to Pilates At Newport

Welcome to 2012, I trust you had a very Happy Christmas and a restful break.  The Studio classes will commence on Tuesday 17th January 2012, and if you are unable to attend on this date please advise. 

Pilates is based on concentration, control, centering, flowing movement, precision and breathing to create core stability and postural alignment.

Why Pilates?    Pilates is recommended by Doctors and Physiotherapists for rehabilitation of specific injuries namely trauma or long term postural problems, as it provides strengthening, core stability and balanced muscles. 

Pilates can also be practiced at a client’s own pace which  is ideal for anyone who has suffered injury through trauma.

In conventional workouts, weak muscles tend to get weaker and strong muscles tend to get stronger.  The result is muscular imbalance – a primary cause of lower back pain. Pilates exercises train several muscle groups at once in smooth, continuous movements.  By developing proper technique, you can actually re-train the body to move in safer, more efficient patterns of motion – invaluable for injury recovery, sport performance, good posture and optimal health.

Pilates gets you mind in tune with your body by emphasising proper breaathing, correct spinal and pelvic alignment and complete concentration in smooth, flowing movement.  The quality of movement is valued over quantity of repetitions.

Correct breathing helps you execute movements with maximum power and efficiency.  Many of the exercises are performed in reclining or sitting positions and most are low impact and partially weight bearing. Pilates gets your mind in tune with your body by emphasising proper breathing, correct spinal and pelvic alignment and complete concentration in smooth, flowing movement and can reduce stress.
