Frequently Asked Questions
What is Pilates?
Pilates is a functional exercise method created by Joseph Pilates to facilitate flexibility and muscle strengthening and to improve the overall health of his clients. The Pilates method includes applications for every kind of physical movement, whether it be athletic or every day, and exercises for all parts of the body.
Who can benefit from Pilates?
Pilates is suitable for people of all ages and fitness levels. It can benefit those looking to improve their posture, increase core strength, recover from injury, or enhance their overall fitness and well-being.
What are the main benefits of Pilates?
Pilates helps improve flexibility, muscle strength, and endurance, particularly in the core muscles. It also enhances posture, balance, and coordination, reduces stress, and aids in injury prevention and rehabilitation.
What do I wear?
Wear clothes that are comfortable and close-fitting that don’t move around too much. Grip socks or bare feet are both acceptable at Body Awareness Studio.
Can Pilates help with back pain?
Yes, Pilates can be particularly effective for alleviating back pain. The exercises strengthen the core and back muscles, improve posture, and increase flexibility, which can reduce strain on the spine and alleviate discomfort.
How does Pilates differ from yoga?
