Pilates is NOT about 'The Core'
Gasp! Pilates is not about ‘the core’????
What kind of craziness is this, you may be asking yourself – everything I’ve heard says Pilates teaches you to have a ‘strong core’!! To, you know, protect your back and stuff. Well…sure. Pilates helps you create supportive postural muscles which some may think of as the core. But ‘the core’ is part of a system and Pilates develops your whole system.
So if my focus is not just ‘the core’ then what else creates a fun and empowering movement experience in my classes? Well, dear reader, you are in for treat…
Why exercises for hypermobility are important
Ever feel too tired to exercise? Maybe every day?! But you’d really like the energy to not only complete chores but also have fun.
Are you worried that because of your hypermobile body, you’ll get hurt when you exercise? But you really want to be able to move and play with your family and friends?
Want to develop a consistent movement practice but just end up feeling so tired, so worried and so overwhelmed with life stuff that your movement session is the first thing that gets dropped?
