Pilates: more than a sport, a way of life
September 14, 2016
It’s not always easy to take care of yourself, to pay attention to your body, your eating habits, your sleep patterns, the quality of your wakefulness… So many parameters that are so difficult to manage, that a healthy lifestyle is quickly put to the test. And yet, all it takes is the practice of a sport, for everything to take its place. Pilates is the ideal discipline for a healthy lifestyle, and MB Studio Pilates explains how and why!
It may seem difficult to have an “excellent lifestyle”. Some even make this concept rhyme with constraints (dietary, sporting…). However, the opposite is true…
Pilates: when a healthy lifestyle no longer rhymes with frustration
Surveys show that health is the most important thing for over half the world’s population, far ahead of love, family and work. Yet few people take the necessary steps to maintain or improve their health…
So, when the subject of “healthy living” comes up, the word “frustration” quickly appears. However, any form of frustration or constraint cancels out the positive effects of a healthier lifestyle. It is through consent (not coercion) and compromise (not frustration) that a healthy lifestyle is born, which has a positive impact on well-being.
So how can you improve your lifestyle? By exercising and, more specifically, by doing Pilates. This discipline, based on eight fundamental principles (concentration, control, center of gravity, breathing, fluidity, precision, sequencing and isolation) regenerates not only the body, but also the mind. So when you use Pilates to improve your posture and sheath your body, you’re also bringing balance and well-being.
The gentleness of the exercises means the body doesn’t hurt itself. The laboriousness of some instructions encourages you to concentrate, control yourself and breathe more deeply, so as to chase away problems and settle internal worries. This sport, which is similar to meditation, allows you to take care of both your body and your mind. It’s a great way to improve your day-to-day life.
