Body awareness & pilates

One of the biggest benefits of doing pilates is the awareness of how you sit /stand/move and being able to relate those habits to the aches and pains and injuries you have or have had in the past. 

For example, practicing pilates can help make you aware of that chronic tweak in the neck you get from sitting at the computer all day with rounded shoulders.   Seated exercises on the reformer help strengthen the muscles along the spine therefore making it easier to sit tall at your desk and more importantly, making you aware of it when you slump!
