The Seven Principles of Pilates
All exercises are performed with rhythm and dynamism, connecting heartbeat and respiration through perfectly timed breathing.
All movements are controlled through the centre, or “powerhouse.” Exercises are done with proper alignment to maintain balance in the body.
Learn how to move your body with the precise balance required for the equipment you’re using to ensure a safe and effective workout.
When performing exercises properly, you control all your body movements. Habit does not guide the execution of the exercises.
Exercises on a Pilates apparatus require perfect coordination to be executed correctly.
Exercises are performed with clear structure and precise form. The work emphasises quality, not quantity, to achieve the full benefit of each exercise.
The workout is designed for one exercise to flow naturally into the next, with minimal movement between exercises to create maximum flow.
