Let’s be real, life is chaotic. Between trying to balance your professional and work life, taking care of your physical and mental health can easily fall at the bottom of the list.

But here’s the tea… Pilates is a total game changer!

1. Stronger Core = Better Life

Your core is your body’s powerhouse and helps with posture, decreases back pain (we’ve all been there), and overall balance. You’ll gain better mind-muscle connection in every day activities. You will be able to live a longer and healthier life. Trust me, your body will thank you.

2. Mind-Body Connection

Pilates encourages you to be to be present, mindful, and connected to yourself. This includes everything from breathwork, alignment, and control. Aside from being able to wear a cute workout set, it also helps clear your mind.

3. Flexibility & Movement

From reaching the top of your shelf for a jar of cookies or keeping up with a busy life schedule, Pilates helps improve your range of motion and decreases chances of injury. It will help you move more confidently and feel stronger doing day to day tasks. Pilates challenges you through every movement and helps build endurance and lean muscles.

4. Fun and Engaging

Pilates is more than a workout, it is a great way to stay engaged with yourself and others around you! It helps you stay balanced, involved, engaged, and sharp. Pilates challenges you from start to finish. It’s all about personal growth! It is the ultimate form of self-care.

Different Types of Pilates

Before starting, it is important to note that there are different types of Pilates, each focusing on different elements.

1. Mat Pilates

Mat Pilates is one of the most accessible types of Pilates because it can be done anywhere, at any time, in any place. As the name suggests, all you need is a mat to get started.

2. Reformer Pilates

Reformer Pilates is among the most popular types of Pilates. It utilizes a Reformer machine that has a bed-like frame, springs, pulleys, and ropes. Reformer Pilates one of the best options if you are looking to build strength and definition.

It is a much more intense version of Mat Pilates. This workout heavily depends on coordination and is better suited for more advanced people. This is a great option if you are looking to jump from Mat Pilates to something more challenging.

Mat Pilates places greater focus on body weight exercises to build core strength, flexibility, and endurance. If you are just beginning, Mat Pilates is the perfect way to start!

3. Power Pilates

Power Pilates is a mix of traditional Pilates and strength training. It places greater focus on controlled movements, intensity, and variations. It usually includes weights bands, and sliders. Think of it as a mix of Mat Pilates and Reformer Pilates.

4. Clinical Pilates

Clinical Pilates is used for rehabilitation and physical therapy. This form of Pilates is often taught by physiotherapists. It is usually a personalized class that fits your needs and unlikely to be found at your regular Pilates studio.
