Each Body Shape Pilates session begins with a focus on advanced balance and stability training. These elements are fundamental to our well-being, health, injury prevention, posture improvement, body control, and core strength.
It’s important to remember that both balance and stability are learned skills—neither are intuitive. If you observe a toddler learning to stand, you’ll notice that balance, not leg or core strength, is the main challenge.
Balance is a key component of every movement we perform, but it tends to decline with age, largely due to our modern lifestyles. As adults, we spend more time sitting and much less time practicing activities like cartwheels!
Balance training at Body Shape Pilates targets the stabilizer muscles (shoulders, abdomen, obliques, diaphragm, hips, knees, and ankles), enhancing joint stability and internal focus. Strong stabilizer muscles are essential for maintaining overall musculoskeletal health.
Time and balance are two of the most difficult things to control, yet they are both within our control. Training with Body Shape Pilates will help you improve both!
