THE PILATES STUDIO EDINBURGH
- The Pilates Studio Edinburgh teaches the true and authentic Pilates method of Contrology.
- Contrology is a system that teaches the body how to move effectively with control, precision, concentration and flow, enhancing life experience by reducing future injuries in any type of physical activity or lifestyle.
- The precision of every movement is taught by learning how to engage the “powerhouse” muscles appropriately and how to connect with the body’s centre, executing movements with control.
- The person feels successful. The rewards are easily felt after each Pilates session.
At The Pilates Studio Edinburgh, we have an enormous passion for physical activity and health and well-being. With the experience gained throughout her career as a trainer is now put towards ensuring that exercise invigorates not only the physical aspect, but also the mind, body and soul.
What is Pilates?
Pilates is a Physical Fitness system developed in the early 20th century by Joseph Pilates, after whom it was named. Pilates called his method “Contrology”. It is practiced worldwide, especially in Western countries such as Australia, Canada, the United States and the United Kingdom. As of 2005, there were 11 million people practicing the discipline regularly and 14,000 instructors in the United States.
Pilates is a method developed in the aftermath of the late 19th century physical culture of exercising in order to alleviate ill health. It teaches one’s body a concept and not just exercises. This concept is based on learning how to move your body effectively, developing body awareness, alignment, strength, stamina and an amazing level of confidence that can be transferred to all facets of life.
