Isn't all Pilates the same?  Well, no not exactly.  As much as the basic Principles which Josef Pilates developed and instructed are still the mainstay of any Pilates class, as a CHEK Practitioner with specific training and interest in Posture, breathing and Core Conditioning, I aim to bring a definite PLUS to your Pilates Practice.

'Breathing is our first act, and our last' - J. Pilates.

Do you realise how often you breathe, in and out, day in day out, even when you sleep?!  Over 20,000 times a day.  That is an immense habit, an unconscious movement pattern which occurs everyday of our lives.

Isn't it therefore important that your exercise, in particular your Pilates and Core exercise address this habit?

Well I think so!  That is why a Healthfitz Pilates class centres on awareness of your own breathing pattern - that is the method and muscles which you predominantly use to breathe.

An inverted or incorrect breathing pattern can be seen in many individuals today - where the muscles of the cervical spine and upper shoudler girdle are used to assist the inhalation of breath, causing undue stress, fatigue and tightness in these muscles.

Pilates Plus... Breathing awareness and correction.
