What is Pilates? (pi-LA-tes)

My "Rise and Shine" series is a non judgmental, fun class, suitable for all fitness levels. If you are not sure about Pilates, wondering if it is right for you, come check out my class Saturday mornings. We meet at 10 am at Arte Mentales in Cinco de Diciembre.

What is mat Pilates?

Pilates is a low impact, full body workout. Class is done on a mat, in comfortable athletic clothes and bare feet. Using your core (abs, back, buttocks, inner thighs) for stabilization you´ll move your limbs through a variety of ranges of motion. The stronger your core the larger you make the range of movement. Focus is on proper alignment, strengthening the core muscles while lengthening the limbs. You will see improvements in your flexibility and stabilization. Pilates is pretty perfect for you down here in Puerto Vallarta as walking around town can be quite a challenge with the hills and the uneven cobblestone streets.

Pilates is a great way to start your day by getting your body and mind flowing. The spot we are in down by the river is so tranquil. You can hear the river gurgling it´s way towards the Bay of Banderas. Their is a huge shade tree blocking the morning sun coming up over the Sierra Madre mountains.

If you are a beginner that is ok, we all were. Movements are easily adjustable to each person. The class is up to you. Listen to your body and do the movement that suits your needs for that day. If you want a tougher workout that is easily done as well. Making the body longer or holding a movement longer makes a world of difference. ;)

Beginners all the way through to the fitness junkies benefit from pilates because they control their own range of motion. Therefore making the exercises harder or easier depending on their body.

Movements are slow, controlled and precise and are suitable for all fitness levels.
