What are the possible benefits of Pilates?
 
How can it help such linear activities such as running and cycling, or rotational ones, like golf and tennis?

Pilates will ...
 
... improve muscle symmetry and balance

... increase strength and flexibility

... strengthen “core” muscles

... improve thoracic rotation and mobility for development of longer, leaner muscles

... improve posture

... improve general muscle tone

... increase endurance

... reduce stress

... improve focus, agility and movement
 

“Movement should be approached like life - with enthusiasm, joy and gratitude.  For movement is life, and life is movement, and we get out of it what we put into it.”

Ron Fletcher
