Central to the Method is ‘awareness of your own body’ and each and every exercise is building around its eight basic principles:
- Relaxation
- Concentration
- Co-ordination
- Centring
- Alignment
- Breathing
- Stamina
- Flowing Movements
By working on the deep architectural structure of the body, ‘core stability’ is achieved, and then maintained, through increasingly complex movement sequences. Your body awareness is heightened by bringing together mind and body – Body Control Pilates literally teaches you to be in control of your body, allowing you to handle stress more effectively and achieve relaxation more easily.
