Anti-Aging Pilates

July 15th, 2010 admin

Pilates is a truly anti-aging exercise. While many types of exercise will strengthen your heart and other muscles and keep you strong, Pilates works on keeping the spine and other joints moving while as strong as possible. In this way you feel great, you feel young. Joseph Pilates once said that we are only as old as our spines. If your back is killing

Pilates and Addiction
One component of many addiction treatment programs, including non 12 step residential programs, is the inclusion of physical activity to strengthen the body and give people something to do where they can focus on anything other than drugs or alcohol. Pilates makes a fabulous addition to any addiction treatment due to its focused mind and body work... 
Pilates Modifications
Most Pilates beginners, especially those doing Pilates mat only with no equipment feedback, need to modify some of the exercises. Making an exercise more achievable makes Pilates more enjoyable. Pilates exercises can be modified by reducing the range of motion or size of an exercise and using props, such as bands or the magic circle, among others....

Image of Pilates-Pro.com My friend, Pilates teacher Anne Samoilov interviewed me recently about teaching Pilates, blogging, social media, and whether or not a new teacher should open a Pilates studio. The interview is now live on Pilates-Pro.com, Pilates Mentors: Q&A with ‘Pilates Goddess’ Lynda Lippin . I love being called a Mentor and... 
Rehab Pilates
Yesterday I taught a Rehab Pilates session to a Japanese journalist who told me that Rehab exercise and Pilates were not linked in Japanese culture. You go to a Pilates teacher for exercise, and a physician for any kind of Rehab exercises. Now this is appropriate in acute injury cases, but when you are dealing with imbalances from an injury 20 years... 
Pilates Clothing
It took me years to find reliable, high quality, not too expensive Pilates clothing. Unlike the ubiquitous running shorts or tank top, Pilates clothing needs to be breathable, form fitting but not not binding, comfortable but not too loose, and needs to cover the body well enough to avoid flashing people but not so well that people cannot see how... 
Pilates Holidays
Sometimes you are lucky enough to vacation in a place that has everything you want in one place, such as Pilates, Yoga, Fitness, and a great spa (Parrot Cay is one of those special places). But even if you are simply getting away to a new town or city near you it is possible to get these services with a bit of research. So if you are inclined to a...

At this moment I have plans for Movements Afoot , Real Pilates , Pilates Shop Yoga Garage , and Pilates on Fifth . Any other suggestions? What’s your favorite NYC pilates... 
Pilates Counteracts Sitting
No matter how ergonomic and expensive your office furniture may be, sitting in any chair all day long will have a negative effect on your body. Your hip flexors and hamstrings get tighter, your spine compresses with gravity, your head strains forward and your shoulders round forward towards your desk or computer. Pilates exercises help counter this... 
Pilates Mat – What to Expect
Pilates Mat – What to Expect
Image via Wikipedia It is interesting teaching Pilates at a resort, since we get a fair number of guests who do Pilates regularly and know what it is along with a large number who have never tried it before. They are never quite sure what to expect, having heard about Pilates as being all stretching, all abs, or for dancers. Any introduction to...
