Pilates course


Spent this evening on a Pilates course. A lic. Stott Pilates Instructor (Martina) has held an education during the last month which I have been participated in. It has been a great way to depend my knowledge about the postures and the thoughts behind the principles. Pilates works with five principles; breathing, pelvis, thorax, cingulum extremitatis superioris (scapula and clavivula), nucha (neck/the back of the neck). The thinking behind the principles isn’t so far from yoga in general but still so very different. And it´s not just the principles that differs, also the breathing is very dissimilar as well in the way you breathe as in the rhythm.
