Three Lesser-known Benefits of Pilates



Pilates is typically thought of for its ability to lengthen and strengthen the body. Some of the benefits that come from regular Pilates sessions include increased core strength, improved posture, ability to lengthen and tone muscles - a “dancer's body”, so to speak. Below you will find three lesser-known, and perhaps surprising, benefits of Pilates. Having a more well-rounded understanding of the versatile benefits of Pilates will enhance your Pilates experience, as well as benefit your teaching and practice. You will be able to use your knowledge to more effectively help both your students and your clients during their sessions.

Pilates is good for your brain and your state of mind.
Each movement promotes focus and  mindfulness as you coordinate both your movements and breathing into fluid motion. When movement, breath, and attention all are in sync, it  can create a meditative state which can lower stress and improve your mood.

Pilates will make you young again!
How you ask? By improving your posture and making you more confident in yourself. As Joseph Pilates said, you are only as old as your spine! Strengthening your core muscles can have an effect you may not have thought about-- a stronger core leads to better posture and body alignment. Better posture and a more flexible spine will produce wonderful physical and mental benefits, such as less back and shoulder pain, as well as helping you feel taller and feel more confident.

A chance to learn new things-- continually.
Are you typically bored by going to the gym, doing the same exercises over and over again? There are hundreds of possible Pilates moves that can be performed on several different apparatuses (types of Pilates equipment). This means when you master one movement, there is always more to learn. And again, this helps your brain stay young, because you are always learning something new that requires sustained effort-- which means you are continually challenging your brain!

There’s no need to get into a Pilates rut, with Polestar Pilates Asia you will always be able to keep “building and modifying and changing” your routine over time, benefiting body and brain.
