"Pilates improves function, alignment, core strength, posture, control, concentration, breath … there are so many benefits." Glen Ostergaard

6 OF OUR FAVORITE SCIENCE-BACKED WAYS PILATES BENEFITS YOUR BODY
Pilates can improve balance and body awareness. The focus on mindful movement and breath enhances proprioception and heightens awareness of how your body moves. This can prevent injuries and falls, which is particularly important as we age.
Pilates can increase mobility as you use slow and controlled stretching movements to improve flexibility and strengthen muscles at the same time. While improved flexibility doesn't necessarily provide any functional benefit, increased mobility is valuable as it improves the movement of your joints.
Pilates can reduce stress and boost your mood, energy and motivation. During Pilates, your nervous system responds to the focus on breathwork by lowering cortisol levels, which will reduce stress over time. And, like with any exercise, the increased oxygen flow and blood circulation stimulate feel-good endorphins and give you a boost of energy. A study of students showed Pilates can boost motivation, achievement and cognitive function.
Pilates can perk up your posture by strengthening postural muscles and bringing attention to your body alignment. With improved posture, you reduce the risks of headaches, as well as shoulder and back pain.
Pilates can reduce injury risk by using strength-building exercises to increase the support and stability of your joints as they move. This makes it particularly beneficial for sportspeople and exercisers.
Pilates can ease lower back pain. Physical activity is considered the magic lotion for back pain. Because Pilates engages the deep core and pelvic floor muscles, it’s a powerful way to build strength and this can help stabilize the back.
