If only we knew how important Pilates is.

Updated: May 8, 2020

The Pilates 'method' was developed for people with lower back pain issues, injuries, joint pain, neck pain or any pain they might suffer. This method was created during World War I by Jozef Pilates. Jozef's father was a gymnast and his mother a naturopath. Josef came up with an idea to combine the two to help people. His initial idea was to help the patients in World War I. Later, he moved from Europe, with his wife, to New York. He opened a studio, where dancers sought his help so they could return to their carriers without injuries.


The key to Pilates is to start young; making our muscles stronger so we can prevent injuries. It all starts very simply: make your CORE, glutes, deep abdominals muscles, and our stabiliser muscles strong. If we do not develop the muscles that are holding our body up, when we are walking, sitting, running, we will end up with many injuries once we are older.


IS PILATES FOR EVERYONE


Pilates is for people who are looking to tone their body and get lean strong muscles. It is for people who decided to build their own temple, from inside out. It cannot work any other way. It is for the beginners to the advanced.


Imagine building a house. You build it to last. If your foundations are not be strong enough to hold the house in place, it will fall. It is the same with your own body. Your foundations are your longevity and prevention of injuries.


Do you have a knee pain, hip pain or shoulder pain? If answer Is 'YES' to any one of these questions, it's about time to join the best pilates studio you can find.



FINDING A GOOD PILATES TEACHER

Your teacher is your CORE. I always say your teacher is your POWERHOUSE that leads you, motivates you, guides you. It's about feeling the energy, vibration, zest for life.



Love, honesty and confidence in your teacher are the keys to having a great experience. Your teacher is your entry point to your future.

WHEN IS THE BEST TIME TO DO PILATES



I suggest before breakfast or after lunch. You should never exercise straight after eating as your stomach is digesting and the energy focus is there. Allow at least 2 hours after your last meal. The rest depends on whether you are a morning person or an afternoon person. The best way is to squeeze in Pilates any time you feel like it. It puts a smile on your face when you see the results.


Eating healthy is 70% of keeping your body in shape. So if you want to see results, you have to start with your nutrition.


I love to say, MIND + BODY = HEALTH
