Principle 1:ย
Understanding how we breathe is important not only in your Pilates practice but also helps us in our every day lives. If we are breathing efficiently we tend to stay more relaxed when life gets busy and stressful and it also helps us to stay clearer in the mind.
Learning how to engage your deep abdominal muscles is essential for supporting our spine and ensuring we have a strong centre. This helps prevent back pain, improves our posture and we can also move more efficiently, making activities we enjoy much easier! and more comfortable.ย

How to stay consistent with your workouts
How's your consistency when it comes to working out? Apart from my morning stretches, or my go to regular exercises, I know if I don't plan ahead to fit in a workout, it doesn't always happen. I can easily get caught up working or doing other things. So for me, a plan...
Happy Birthday Joseph!
Today is Joseph Pilates' birthday! It's funny how someone I never met and never will meet, has had such a major influence on my life. I'll be be eternally grateful to this man. I still remember my first Pilates class, over 25 years ago. I left feeling amazing......
This was very helpful!! Love the way you explained the areas. After having 3 kids my midsection, lower back and pelvis is weaker. So excited to try this program. Thank you
My pleasure – glad you liked it. As you have had children, it’s wise to have a look at the other program I offer. http://www.corerestoreprogram.com
In the second email of the challenge series of emails, I talk about a free challenge too for this topic. You can sign up for that as well. These will all help you too x
Fabulous explanation video Emma. Best information I’ve heard on how to engage the pelvic floor and transverse abdominals, which I need to work on! Looking forward to the challenge.
Mel.
Oh that’s great – im so happy it was helpful. Enjoy the challenge x
Thank you Emma for the great breathing explanation. I totally agree with Rose. Some time ago, I started a Yoga class because I suffer from back pain and stress; however, I stopped because the instructor was more into herself than the class. Didn’t teach us how to breath and so on.
Looking forward to Monday and learning more from you.
Hi Lucy
Thanks for your feedback. Glad you found it useful. I have lots of back pain relief and health classes in my Core Fit Club Anytime you want to do more specific things for your body, that’s a great option after you try out the barre challenge. Em x
Thank you so much Emma for sharing the breathing details for Pilates. I have never received such in-depth details regarding the breathing technique when doing Pilates and always struggle with my breathing – should I be exhaling now or inhaling ?? Lots of practice ahead for me I am thinking.
Hi Rose, I hope the information helped you to understand the body a little more in depth. It’s ok, to just breathe, and not worry about it. but good to know for how to eventually practice x
lol I’m laughing so much at myself and my comments like “let me see if I can find my hips under all this fat” / “Come on girls stop hiding”
Concentrating so much on the breathing and where it’s supposed to be in the body that I got myself soooo confused. I’ll have to practice this all day to even have a hope of doing the day 1. Seeing myself as a Pilates Celeste Barber, If nothing else I’m doing laughter therapy ๐
Hi Barbara! Or Pilates Celeste Barber! glad you’re having fun! ๐ Yes takes a bit of time to get it all together, the breathing and all the moves! Hang in there! Hence why it’s called a mind body exercise! Enjoy! xx
