“We are the architects of our own happiness.” ~ Joseph Pilates
Pilates is great for your body (and mind!) - IF it is done with proper alignment and movement patterning. This makes it an exciting way to apply the re-education of Yamuna®! Enjoy performing optimally, not just in your fitness practices, but in all your daily movement.
Combining Yamuna® and Pilates will help you achieve the intended results from both methods. They're both dedicated to working slowly and methodically to build a strong, yet freely-moving body. Perhaps even more importantly, both methods focus on connecting the abdominal muscles to the spine for overall ease and stability.
I have been studying Pilates for 20 years. I'm a certified Pilates mat instructor with Power Pilates, and have completed the Pilates Reformer 1 module of the Balanced Body certification program.
Joseph Pilates, creator of the Pilates method, called his work “Contrology” and said this about it: “Contrology develops the body uniformly, corrects wrong postures, restores physical vitality, invigorates the mind, and elevates the spirit.”
