Pilates Training

Pilates at Heart and Soul Rehabilitation is 1:1 training which maintains the foundations of traditional Pilates as taught by Joseph H. Pilates and at the same time incorporates the clinical expertise as a licensed physical therapist into the training program.

 

Pilates Principles

• Concentration: be present in the mind or in other words be concentrating on what you are doing.
• Control: "Body Contrology" - What good is doing something if you do not have control of it? 
• Center: "Powerhouse" - the strengthening of abdomen, lower back,hips, and buttocks or the "girdle of strength. The center seres a critically important function in our bodies - that ofm spinal stabilization.
• Fluidity: in fluid movements, muscles never switch off since one muscle needs to stay "turned on" until the next muscle has taken over and then flows to the next.
• Precision: attention to detail - focus and centering.
• Breath: oxygenates the body - enough said.
