These are the fundamental concepts of the method as it is taught today.<\/strong>\r\n\r\nSo on your marks, get set... do yourself some good!\r\n\r\n<b>The Control<\/b>\r\n\r\nThe basis of the Pilates method is the control of the body by the mind. The exercises should be performed in a smooth and coordinated manner from start to finish. This requires anchoring the body, aligning the spine, contracting the abdomen, activating the muscles involved and breathing regularly.\r\n\r\n<b>Centering<\/b>\r\n\r\nIn Pilates, all movements emanate from the centre of the body, namely the abdominal muscles, the lower back muscles and the perineum, which are the fundamental source of strength, stability and energy.\r\nCentering also requires proper alignment of the spine to improve posture and balance, and balanced muscle development on both sides of the body.\r\n\r\n<b>Breathing<\/b>\r\n\r\nJoseph Pilates believed that most people breathed inefficiently, breathing in shallowly and engaging mostly the upper part of their lungs. His method requires deep, thoracic breathing, during which the intercostal muscles, located between each adjacent rib, bulge outwards and thus the laterals. This lateral breathing, unlike diaphragmatic breathing, allows the abdominal muscles to remain stable and contracted throughout the exercise. Another advantage of thoracic breathing is the amount of oxygen it brings into the lower lobes of the lungs, oxygenating the blood even more. Chest breathing also improves the mobility of the rib cage, spine and shoulder blades.\r\n\r\n<b>Concentration<\/b>\r\n\r\nThe connection between mind and body is a fundamental concept in Pilates. Visualise the steps as you prepare, focus on breathing and correct body positioning, to perform each exercise with full awareness. The mind must be fully present in the performance of the exercise.\r\n\r\n<b>Precision<\/b>\r\n\r\nPilates exercises consist of precise movements in a slow and deliberate manner. Activate all the muscles involved in the required order for maximum benefit. The quality of the execution of the exercises is much more important in Pilates than the quantity of repetitions.\r\n\r\n<b>Fluidity<\/b>\r\n\r\nPerform the exercises with fluidity and grace <em>(dancers are the best performers and teachers unlike physiotherapists, I would like to add that each one belongs to his or her profession and exercises with fluidity and grace!)<\/em> as if you were dancing or doing a gymnastic routine, with gentle movements synchronised with the breath. Avoid jerky movements that could hurt you. Strive to be more fluid from exercise to exercise.\r\n\r\n<b>The muscles of the centre<\/b>\r\n\r\nThe core muscles or powerhouse, as Joseph Pilates called them, are the centre of energy, stability and body power. These are all the muscles surrounding the lumbar spine, from the navel to the pelvic floor, and surrounding the torso.\r\n\r\n\"Physical fitness is the sine qua non of happiness.\"\r\n\r\n<strong><em>Joseph Pilates<\/em><\/strong>\r\n\r\n<b>Welcome to the 7th district Pilates and Yoga workshop.\r\n<\/b>See you soon and... a great summer!\r\n\r\n<strong>BE and DO PILATES &amp; YOGA<\/strong>\r\n\r\nSERVE\r\n\r\nLOVE\r\n\r\nGIVE\r\n\r\nPURIFY\r\n\r\nMEDITATE\r\n\r\nREALIZE\r\n\r\n<em>Studio N\u2019ai\u2019A\r\nNad\u00e8ge<\/em>\r\n\r\n<img src=\"https:\/\/studionaia-marseille.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/demi-mandala-gris-2-1-1-1024x309.png\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/studionaia-marseille.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/demi-mandala-gris-2-1-1-1024x309.png 1024w, https:\/\/studionaia-marseille.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/demi-mandala-gris-2-1-1-300x91.png 300w, https:\/\/studionaia-marseille.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/demi-mandala-gris-2-1-1-768x232.png 768w, https:\/\/studionaia-marseille.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/demi-mandala-gris-2-1-1-1080x326.png 1080w\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"309\" \/>\r\n\r\n<strong>Feel free to share this article!<\/strong>\r\n<h2>And more...<\/h2>\r\n<h2>Studio Nai'A<\/h2>\r\n20, rue C\u00e9sar Aleman\r\n13007 Marseille\r\nTel: +33 7 83 77 68 43\r\n\r\n<a style=\"color: white;\" href=\"mailto:contact@studionaia-marseille.com\">contact@studionaia-marseille.com<\/a>\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/clients.mindbodyonline.com\/classic\/ws?studioid=676267&amp;stype=41\">\r\nBook your lesson here!\r\n<\/a>\r\n\r\nFollow us:\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/Studio-NaiA-1593007081009170\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\r\nFacebook-f\r\n<\/a>\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/studionaia1\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\r\nInstagram\r\n<\/a>\r\n\r\n\u00a9 Studio Nai'A | Design by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.graphika.fr\/\">graphika.fr<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/studionaia-marseille.com\/en\/privacy-policy\/\">Legal Notice<\/a>","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[23,24],"tags":[25],"class_list":["post-5361","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news-en","category-news-en-2","tag-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/studionaia-marseille.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5361","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/studionaia-marseille.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/studionaia-marseille.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/studionaia-marseille.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/studionaia-marseille.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5361"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/studionaia-marseille.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5361\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/studionaia-marseille.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/8567"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/studionaia-marseille.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5361"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/studionaia-marseille.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5361"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/studionaia-marseille.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5361"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
