PRINCIPALS OF PILATES

Breathing
 
Most of us do not breathe properly and use only a fraction of our lung capacity. It is vital to learn how to breathe fully to improve the circulation, causing the cells of your body to be stimulated and carry away the waste products that are related to fatigue and muscle soreness. Proper breathing can relax the body and mind and also greatly assists in flexion and extension of the spine. Incorrect breathing can interfere with effective abdominal muscle contractions and even create a potbelly! Your overall health relies on the efficiency of your breathing.
