Body Control Pilates is renowned as a world-leading education provider for Pilates teaching
Body Control Pilates is remarkably effective and medically approved. It is of a holistic nature, being based upon a well-constructed philosophical foundation. Central to the Method is ‘awareness of your own body’ and each and every exercise is built around it’s eight basic principles:
- Relaxation
- Concentration
- Co-ordination
- Centring
- Alignment
- Breathing
- Stamina
- Flowing Movements
By working on the deep architectural structure of the body, ‘core stability’ is achieved and then maintained, through increasingly complex movement sequences. Specific problem-areas can be targeted by an exercise but always in relation to the rest of one’s body.
The Body Control Pilates Method can work for everyone, regardless of fitness level. Matwork exercises have a great attraction in that they need no special equipment and are particularly safe for those with back problems. It’s consistent success rate in solving such problems has brought it to the attention of osteopaths, chiropractors, physiotherapists and homeopathic doctors, many of whom have either set up Pilates studios as part of their practices or established a close working partnership with their local Body Control Pilates teacher.
