Did you know that pilates improves physical balance and coordination? Pilates helps in lengthening and stretching major muscles groups inside your body in balanced manner in which there are no muscle imbalances.
High concentration is required in pilates because you have to be able to control your body for each movement. Breathing pattern and rhythm are essential in pilates! Plus, pilates is great for stress management and relaxation.
In pilates, you are taught to train both right and left side of your body. In addition, it also trains both your left brain and your right brain. Physical balance and coordination is important to ensure the quality of your performance in your daily activities.
In iSometric Pilates Studio Jakarta, our pilates instructors will guide you to work on both sides of your muscles. For example, if you are a golfer, it is possible that you have muscle imbalance. While you are golfing, you only focus on one side of your hand or leg. This causes muscle imbalance. We could help you to train both sides of your hands or legs to return to a balance position. This is why pilates improves physical balance and coordination.
