By bringing together body and mind, Body Control Pilates literally teaches you to be in control of your body, and allows you to handle stress more effectively and achieve relaxation more easily. The end result is a body that is both long and lean, supple and strong.
Body Control Pilates is a body conditioning method that works in a different way to other fitness techniques. Targeting deep postural muscles, Pilates works by building strength from the inside out, rebalancing the body and bringing it into correct alignment. It helps to reshape your body - which will become longer, leaner and more toned. It will improve your posture, achieving the perfect balance between strength and flexibility, and is a great way to relieve unwanted stress and tension. Perfect for athletes looking to enhance their performance and avoid the risk of injury, as well as being ideal for first-time exercisers. Its slow, controlled approach means that it gives much longer-term results.
