Pilates
The Pilatestechnique is a neuromuscular training for strength and
mobility. Focussing on breath and concentrated movement, it builts
the deep abdominal muscles ( the ‘powerhouse’ ) to protect the
lumbar spine.
Proprioception and correct alignment will help to work economically
with free joints.
Eyerybody may profit from Pilates, especially dancers to prevent
injuries, solve dysbalances and find the correct alignment for free
movements to improve the dancetechnique.
