The mat gives you a reference point to correct the alignment of your spine during session. Exercise in a Pilates workout aid in developing core strength and the exercises focus on deeper muscles. Although the focus is on getting a workout, because of the concentration involved in controlling the body in its optical alignment, it has a naturally therapeutic effect for individuals having all sorts of ailments including orthopaedic pain, heart conditions, pre and post surgery and pregnancy also.

Tips for effective Pilates Exercise:
Familiarizing yourself with the Pilates Principles will make you more prepared for your Pilates class.
Concentration – You can establish a better connection with your body by focusing on your mind-body awareness and you will gain more benefits from your workouts. It’s better to do each exercise slowly and precisely, than with incorrect form or posture.
Centering – You will help all of your bodied muscles function and develop more efficiently by paying attention to the muscles of the core (the Pilates Powerhouse).
Breathing – Make sure you are breathing through each movement. As with any exercise, holding your breathe may result in detrimental effects. Breathing well will engage proper oxygenation of the muscles and facilitation of adequate muscular contraction.
Precision – Practice makes perfect. Proper form is essential to ensure you gain the most benefit and keep your body healthy.
Flow – Each Pilates motion should be smooth and graceful as a dancer or gymnast in your practice.
Control – Slow and controlled movements are harder to perform and more beneficial in the long run. Controlled movement utilises deep stabilising muscles to work efficiently.
