May Focus – Technique / Mind Body Connection
This month we will focus on technique. I have included all the Essential Exercises in the monthly calendar, and I encourage everyone to go back to the basics this month and remember the essence of the exercises.
If we start to improve the technique we will feel more at ease in the pose, yet at the same time more challenged.
When we focus on how the body moves, we can start to learn about our needs. Eg perhaps where we feel tight or weak, and address these imbalances. Our body when working harmoniously is balanced. Due to life habits and posture etc, we start to develop imbalances. These can cause pain and or discomfort. Pilates (and yoga) help to improve minimise these imbalances.
This month my challenge for you is to work through all the essential exercise library and let me know how you go and what discoveries you make!
‘To me good health is more than just exercise and diet. It is really a point of view and a mental attitude you have about yourself ‘ – Albert Schweitzer
