What is Classical Pilates?
Classical Pilates is the original method developed by Joseph Pilates. As a classical pilates instructor , I will teach you the original work developed by Joseph Pilates.
It focuses on the foundational principles of Pilates: Control, Precision and Concentration. Not only is your form important, but the order in which you do your exercises with appropriate transitions – Each exercise builds and leads into the next to ensure your body progressively adjust to the following exercise. . This process prevents injury and keeps your body in alignment as you move through your workout and build endurance.
If your body is not ready for the full expression of the exercise, modification is made to tailor to your specific needs.
Mat work (Pilates without equipment) is the foundation of the original Pilates method.
The same Principles were then brought to the Reformer, Wunda Chair and Cadillac apparatus, all which I utilize at the studio.
Another distinction in Classical Pilates are the equipments. The equipments are the original design developed by Joseph Pilates and engineered by Gratz.
The clients who are trained under the classical equipments would certainly feel the exercises more challenging, providing extreme results when done with consistency and discipline.
An interesting fact about Pilates is that during his lifetime this method of exercise was called Contrology. It was only after his death that it became known as the Pilates Method.
It is in the honouring of the Pilates Principles that the depth of the work is achieved. These Principles are:
- Concentration
- Centring
- Control
- Precision
- Flow
