FAQs

What is Pilates?

Pilates is a system of exercises developed nearly one hundred years ago by Joseph Pilates and perfected thereafter by his many followers. Pilates helps people of all ages and physical abilities to become fit, strong and healthy by improving muscle flexibility, core strength, posture, and coordination and by fostering a holistic sense of vitality and well-being.

What is core strength?

Core strength is the foundation of a Pilates program. The core muscles are the deep, internal muscles of the abdomen and back. When the core muscles are strong and doing their job- as they are trained to do in Pilates- they work in tandem with the more superficial muscles of the trunk to support the spine and facilitate healthy movement. Developing core strength helps to develop stability throughout the entire torso. Strengthening the core is one of the ways in which Pilates helps people overcome back pain. As the torso is properly stabilized, pressure on the back is relieved and the body is able to move freely and efficiently.

What is the difference between Pilates and Yoga?

They do share some similarities. Both are considered mind-body type methods of exercise; both emphasize deep breathing and smooth, long movements. But while Yoga consists of moving from one posture to the next, Pilates flows through a series of dynamic movements that incorporate resistance equipment. The type of breathing is also different. Pilates focuses on expanding the ribcage in all directions while inhaling through the nose, and then activating deep abdominal muscles to exhale through the mouth.

What are the benefits of Pilates?

The various benefits include but are not limited to:Increased strength without unwanted bulkIncreased core strength, stability and peripheral mobilityImproved fitness levelsGreater ease and range of movementHeightened body awarenessImproved joint healthAdded variety as a compliment to other forms of exerciseImproved performance of specific sport skills (golf, skiing, hockey, etc.) Enhanced balance, coordination and circulation

How does Pilates differ from a weight training program at the gym?

Pilates exercises are performed using all movement planes, are easy on the joints, build long and lean muscles, and prevent injuries. Weight training and Pilates can be combined in your fitness program and are a great compliment to each other.

❓MYTH OR FACT ❓ 🤔 If I’m going to a party tonight ... it’s a good idea to skip lunch to make up for the extra food I might be eating. . 🙈 . 🙉 . 🙊 🔥NOT NECESSARY🔥 If you skip lunch, you’ll throw your body off its normal routine ... This means there’s a good chance you’ll end up VERY hungry (maybe even hangry!), and eat even MORE than you would have otherwise. A better idea: keep your body on its regular schedule and eat a clean protein (& fiber-rich) light carb lunch that will fill you up and keep you feeling full for hours. Then, when you’re at the party, be sure to choose the healthier “worth it” foods that you love and enjoy. The next day, just jump back on your normal healthy routine. #Healthy Choices #Mindful Eating #Balance Not Deprivation #Party Fuel #Nourish Your Body #Eat Well Live Well #Smart Eating #Nutrition Matters #Fuel Your Body Right #Choose Health #Wellness Journey #Party Prep #Mindful Indulgence #Healthy Habits #Eat Smart Feel Good #Sensible Eating #Nutrition Tips #Body Fuel #Party Without Regret #Healthy Lifestyle #yogilachi...
