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…
