Pilates classes help to build strength and flexibility, with an emphasis on
lengthening the body and aligning the spine, rather than on building muscle
mass. Pilates' focus is on the "powerhouse" region of the body which
includes the muscles of the abdominals and the lower back. Because of its
focus Pilates has become popular not only in the field of fitness, but also in
rehabilitation. It can be used to progress individuals through movements
that represent their day-to-day activities. The focus on strengthening the
core/powerhouse muscles and improving postural awareness are especially
well indicated for the alleviation and prevention of back pain.
Power Flow Yoga/Power Vinyasa Yoga incorporates fluid movements
with balanced, rhythmic breathing. Linking movement with breath
enhances the health benefits of each posture by increasing muscle strength
and tone, increasing flexibility and joint mobility, improving circulation and
hormonal balance and cultivating a more focused, clear and clam state of
mind.
