Description

This course is designed to teach the basics of Pilates. It will provide a student with skills, knowledge, and strategies to help the student not only enjoy the sport during class but also during their leisure time activities. Pilates is related to encouraging the mind to control muscles. It focuses attention on core postural muscles that help keep the body balanced and provide support for the spine. In particular, Pilates’s exercises teach awareness of breath and alignment of the spine, as well as strengthening the deep abdominal muscles to support this alignment.
