The 9 principles of pilates

​

Concentration

Focus is the key to success. If you are attentive you can control your body perfectly and influence it positively. 

​

Breath 

Breathing facilitates and enhances movement. If you breath consciously you can control your core directly.

​

Centering

From the core we draw strength and stability that we need for the exercises. If you concentrate, the body strengthens your mind.

​

Intention 

Clear intention is required in order to achieve your goals. Focused and intentive muscle activation creates muscle memory. 

​

Control 

Maintain proper form, alignment and effort during the exercise. 

​

Integration 

The goal is to integrate the newly acquired movement patterns into your everyday life.

​

Flow 

Pilates classes have rhythm and flow. The movements are gracefully and smooth.

​

Differentiation

Thanks to differentiation, it is possible to estimate how much force a single exercise requires. A differentiated training balances muscle contraction and release.

​

Continuity 

Consistent and regular training soon bring noticeable benefits.
