Goal for each class is to EDUCATE, STRENGTHEN & INCREASE FLEXIBILITY in your body and brain!
Get started now before class even starts with this simple at home exercise.
One of the best ways to learn new movements is to become aware of incoming sensory inputs from your body. We will frequently use body awareness in our Pilates Class to improve our biomechanical form and maximize results during Pilates sessions.
One of the simplest ways to practice body awareness is to focus on your breath.
Take two breaths and focus where your breath is going in your ribcage. If we are stressed our breath is often constrained to the top of our ribcage. Try moving your breath lower into your ribcage, in the back towards the kidneys and in the front at the top of your belly. Take two more breaths focusing on inhaling low into your ribs. If you are having trouble take your hands off the key board and place them around the base of ribs with your thumbs near your kidneys the palms of your hands on the sides of your ribs and your fingers towards your belly. Focus on the feeling of your hands on your ribcage, you can close your eyes if necessary and breath into where you feel your hands. Now you are using your own body awareness the sense of touch to help you focus your breath.
I hope you feel a bit more relaxed and get a taste of how we will utilize your body awareness to improve your body brain connection and your pilates workout.
