Principles of Pilates

Unlike some exercises where just going through the motions is good enough, Pilates has 6 principles that help the student move with intention, efficiency and safety.

CONTROL-Deliberate movements

CENTERING-Moving from core “powerhouse” muscles

CONCENTRATION-Using full mental focus

PRECISION-Exact alignment and form

BREATH-Using breath to support movement

FLOW-Smooth movement during and between exercises
