WHY PILATES FOR TEACHERS?
Highlights:
- It helps to release back and neck pain, which are so common for people spending too much time in sitting or in front of computer;
- It improves your posture (and, thus, your body efficiency): after many hours of daily sitting your posture becomes looking like a “question-mark” – regular Pilates practice helps to offset this negative impact;
- It improves the condition of your joints all over the body: our joints are synovial “constructions”, which means they – like a sponge – need to be squashed to absorb more fluid. And it’s exactly fluid that nourishes them. The more variability in motion you have – the better is the condition of your joints. Pilates helps you to keep this variability;
- It decreases your daily stress: Pilates exercises require some concentration, so while doing them you will have no chance to think about borsch which you need to prepare, or problems you need to solve. A pure time dedicated to yourself, which helps to restart your brain;
- It enriches your brain abilities: Pilates gives you a new movement experience, which in turn creates new neural pathways in your brain, thus developing it. Overall, it’s a deep work from inside your neural system;
- It increases your body awareness, which helps you to stay in contact with your body and to “hear” it better;
- It’s just fun and a nice way to spend time, taking care of yourself!
