The Principles Of Pilates

Filed under: Beauty, Energy, Pilates, Pilates Clothing, Workout — Wellicious @ 3:13 pm

Pilates has soared in popularity over recent times as more and more people switch on to the benefits it offers. You might be among the many individuals who dons Pilates clothing to get stuck into the pursuit.

The discipline was founded in the early 20th century by the German Joseph Pilates. He originally called the activity contrology because he believed that his method used the mind to control the muscles. In 1980, Philip Friedman and Gail Eisen published the first modern book on the subject and it was called The Pilates Method of Physical and Mental Conditioning. In it, six principles were identified and these have been widely adopted by the wider community.

These principles are concentration, control, centre, flow, precision and breathing. Concentration is mentioned because those who don their Pilates clothes and take part in the activity are expected to focus intensively. Meanwhile, control refers to the mastering of muscles. Participants are supposed to be able to control of every aspect of every moment. Centring, on the other hand, helps people to focus and balance. It involves close attention being paid to the so-called ‘powerhouse’, which encompasses the abdomen, back, hips, buttocks and inner thighs. Flow is a reference to the ease with which exercises are supposed to merge into one another. Also, participants are supposed to be extremely precise and breathing is also important in Pilates. Its creator saw considerable value in increasing the intake of oxygen into the body. Next time you need to stock up on Pilates wear, you can come here to Wellicious to peruse our online boutique.

How to Choose a Pilates Instructor

Filed under: Energy, Pilates, Pilates Clothing, Wellicious Clothing — Wellicious @ 11:56 am

If you want to feel the benefits of Pilates, the complete work-out for mind, body and spirit, once you’ve considered your Pilates clothing, it’s vital that you find the right instructor and the right class for you.

Look for carefully designed sequences of exercises providing quality over quantity. For each exercise, there should only be a few, careful repetitions.

Your class should also follow strict safety guidelines, so you feel challenged but not pushed beyond your limits.

Look for a teacher who has completed 450 hours of training and is registered with an official organisation. After all, this discipline is not something which can be taught in a few hours, so how can someone have mastered it in a short time? Ask carefully about their experience qualifications.

Other things to look for include clear directions, individual attention when you need it and a willingness to answer your questions. A familiarity with various health conditions may also be helpful, as will an eagerness to keep abreast of industry news and developments.

Finally, as with any sort of fitness instructor, find someone you get on with personally, and who creates a positive, friendly atmosphere which is right for you.

At Wellicious, we have a great range of gorgeous yoga clothes and Pilates clothing, to make you feel ready for action whatever class you choose. You’ll love the quality textiles we use for our Pilates and yoga clothes, the gorgeous colours - and our prices!
