Once you have learned the method from a certified teacher, you can do 15 to 20 minutes of Pilates a day at home. 

This allows you to be fit for your daily tasks. Getting to know and respect your body better is the foundation of Pilates with the aim of "awakening the physical potential within you".

"A body free of tension and fatigue allows you to face all the complexities of life. Joseph Pilates

According to Joseph Pilates: "to benefit from a healthy body, one must learn to know it and respect it in order to make it evolve! ». By taking care of our physical potential and listening to our body, we benefit from a more functional and efficient body in order to carry out all our daily tasks and constraints with more ease and comfort. In addition, our current society and our sedentary preferences put us in front of more and more health problems, all of which start, for the most part, with "little bumps" that we could have avoided if we had had a better understanding of our body and its needs.
Whatever state you and your body are in at the moment, Pilates teaches you to understand it better so that it can reach its full potential for a new quality of well-being!

The health benefits of Pilates

With Pilates, it is the whole body's muscular strengthening that is engaged, it is a holistic method. The teacher continuously checks your vertical alignment, your lengthening and your breathing in the movement . It is all about posture and silhouette, ideal for people who have bad posture or back problems.

This method, and this is its strength, requires a movement always carried out with maximum precision, it further stimulates the nervous system involved in motor skills. The more finely we stimulate muscle tone and coordination (the most precise gesture possible with the right expenditure of energy), the more we develop good quality motor skills.  

It is primarily in the head that it happens: it is the brain that controls the activity of the muscles, ensures the precision of the movements until developing particular skills in fine motor skills and agility. On the condition that training is regular, because that's what it's all about! Regular practice improves both blood circulation and brain stimulation. In general, physical activity is beneficial when it lasts at least thirty minutes. Benefits from 7 to 77 years old....Car Pilates is for life

The preventive role of Pilates: "Good health is a duty" said Joseph, and it depends on the respect we have for ourselves. In addition to adopting a healthy diet, seizing every opportunity to get moving and practicing regular physical activity (which is what doctors currently recommend), these changes in lifestyle must be part of our daily schedule and be sustainable.

Because it is a change of lifestyle and a change for life! And the difficulty lies in this because if everyone knows how to make good resolutions, few people know how to keep them. Pilates as a health activity can be adapted to individual activities and to the specificities of the practitioner (in intensity and level of practice) in safe conditions. It is important that this practice is supervised by qualified professionals, experienced, seriously trained in this discipline and convinced to teach the values of this method "demanding and sharp" which will make your body evolve.

Many new adapted movements and small equipment are added to the original repertoire, but the basic values, principles and vision of Joseph Pilates are fully respected.
A great deal of scientific research has also allowed the contemporary method to evolve into an even more effective training technique, recognised to this day by the medical community (doctors, physiotherapists, chiropractors and osteopaths).

The 6 fundamentals of the method are also based on a targeted approach to the needs and expectations of the person with a programme of exercises adapted to their abilities.

Pilates and Cancer (Rose Pilates)

I myself was treated for cancer. In order to keep myself in shape during the treatment, I practised Pilates. I was able to face the treatment with energy, good mood and well-being.

Illness must be experienced as an episode in life, but one that will be short-lived! Learn to get through this difficult, unexpected and painful time for body and mind.  

Or an improved quality of life through Pilates work

The physical and psychological benefits of Pilates can help cancer patients in their rehabilitation and recovery. People in remission or undergoing cancer treatment usually experience muscle weakness, limited range of motion and pain.

The movements worked on are adapted to the individual and the progress of the person's recovery, with or without small equipment.
The physiological benefits of Pilates are noted in improved muscle strength, endurance, breathing capacity and improved movement in daily life. What is most often reported by people is an improvement in mood, well-being, an increased awareness of one's body in movement and a gain in independence.

Physical activity helps restore quality of life, prevents weight gain and combats fatigue. And, if it's worth remembering, regular physical exercise can help reduce the risk of recurrence and make it easier to reduce the need for medication.

Pilates will benefit you as physical activity is a recognised public health tool.
The idea is to start again gently, in a progressive way. Do not try to do too much too quickly, which could lead to physical and mental fatigue. The activity can be done during or after the treatments. The important thing is to find a rhythm and a time slot to establish a regularity, a bit like a ritual.
