We breathe approximately 20 000 times a day, we do this naturally as an involuntary action. In Pilates we make our breath conscious and there are tremendous benefits from this.
Breathing regulates all the systems of the body: the respiratory system, the lymphatic system, the nervous system and the digestive system. All these systems are regulated by optimal breathing. With optimal breathing posture is important!
If you were sitting in a slouched position, you would be inhibiting your breath from coming into your body.
We need to create a body that enables the breath to travel as it should, up and down the body, through the body, encompassing a three dimensional breath patterning.
In Pilates, the breath is really important, it dictates the speed of the moment and the quality of the movement. We encourage diaphragmatic breathing to ensure you work optimally.
We teach our clients how to breath, cause this is a huge aspect that is missing in our lives, people are never taught how to breathe properly and therefore don’t know how to do it properly.
