What are the Pilates Stretches?
People often ask me “will I become more flexible if I do Pilates ?”
I pause because I would like to be honest about my answer
“Well..you see the truth is, whether it is Yoga or Pilates , it all comes down to how much time you are willing to put into your flexibility program” and may I say that traditionally the Pilates mat work Method was designed for strengthening the body , however most of its exercises require a fair amount of flexibility to just even get into set up.
For example take a look at how much flexibility the below exercise requires
AND WE DO NOT JUST GET FLEXIBLE BY SIMPLY SITTING IN THIS POSITION…Ouch my back hurts if I try that. Oh I bet it does.
Since returning to Pilates Post covid, I decided I wanted to take my clients flexibility on a new journey. This would require the help of some blocks and of course a little bit more consistency.
You see, Patience and consistency are the key turning moments in Pilates and Stretching routines.
My motto is repeat , repeat and repeat.
Find your weakest area or most inflexible part of your body
Then apply the right amount of stretching to suit your level.
So what’s new
Blocks and 3 signature stretches that we do every week.
The progress that clients have been making is amazing since returning in May 2021.
The blocks are really helping clients align their hips and support them to go deeper into the stretching no matter what level they are at.
So if you are ready to give a Pilates a go and you have been wanting to give it a try for a while now then why not come along and book a one off class to see how you get on.
No equipment is required at first.
