Many people don’t know that there are principles that every good Pilates workout should include. There are 10 and knowing them may help you understand the bigger picture of Pilates. Pilates is a method, not just a random assortment of exercises to make you work. It was through understanding these principles and watching them spill over into my everyday life that I came to believe that Pilates can significantly impact ones lifestyle. Thus, “The Balanced Life: A Pilates-inspired Lifestyle” was born.

The 10 principles:

Awareness Breath Balance Control Concentration Center Efficiency Flow Precision Harmony

Over the next few weeks I’ll be focusing on a few of the principles and exploring how they apply to our practice of Pilates as well as how they can create positive changes our everyday life. There is so much to discover in the world of Pilates and I wholeheartedly believe that diving into these principles can help you FINALLY break free of the diet/exercise cycle that has kept you stagnant for so long. I’m confident because it worked for me and I’ve seen it work for my clients time and time again.

A question for those of you practicing Pilates: did you know that these principles existed prior to reading this post? I’m curious 🙂
