16 Category: Individual Sports / Fitness Sports Pilates is an exercise system that improves the function of muscle control, body flexibility, strength and breathing. Pilates exercises are aimed at strengthening muscles throughout the body, especially the deep abdominal and back muscles and pelvic floor muscles. As this method emphasises strengthening the deep abdominal muscles as support for the spine, the spine is under less strain. All movements go from a stable centre, the so-called Powerhouse (centre of strength), to all the peripheral parts of the body. Pilates exercise methods are very versatile, suitable both for the wider public and for athletes and dancers. Exercises on the ground (on the mat), or mat work, are not dependent on age, fitness, space or equipment. Due to its varying degrees of intensity Pilates can be used both by beginners and by very fit individuals. The course is taught several times a week in various locations see schedule. Power yoga
