Pilates is a mind and body exercise method that focuses on alignment, breathing, and centering. It can be performed on the mat or using apparatus, either in a group setting or on a one-to-one basis. The benefits of Pilates include improved posture, better coordination and balance, healthier joints, increased body awareness, stress management, and injury prevention.
In addition to Pilates, Pilates Guro incorporates fascia movement techniques into their sessions. Fascia is the connective tissue that runs throughout the body, playing a vital role in movement and overall health. By incorporating fascia movement into Pilates sessions, clients can experience improved ease of movement, increased strength and elasticity, and heightened vitality and energy. Fascia movement also helps to build resilience and adaptability.
Whether you are a beginner or have prior Pilates experience, Pilates Guro welcomes you to join their classes and experience the transformative benefits of Pilates and fascia movement. You are sure to leave each session feeling refreshed, revitalised, and connected to your body.
