#BuildYourImmunity with #Pilates: Breathing fully, with attention and intention, centers us. It clears and calms the mind, reduces stress and paves the way for a greater, holistic experience. Working with the breath also brings a natural rhythm to a pilates movement enhancing the efficacy and experience of a workout.
In Pilates, the breath leads the movement and gives it power. Most of our Pilates equipment and mat exercises are taught with breath patterns.
In Pilates exercises, the breath helps us lengthen and decompress the spine. The contraction of an exhale can be thought of as a gentle, lengthening squeeze of the trunk around the spine.
People think of deep breathing as a way to fill up their upper chest. In Pilates, however, we want to use all of the breathing space we have available to us. We therefore consciously use two related but slightly different types of breathing:
Diaphragmatic Breathing: This is deep-belly breathing where we bring the breath all the way into the body allowing the belly to expand with the inhale and deflate with the exhale. Diaphragmatic is a "best practice" breathing for life in general.
Lateral Breathing: In Pilates, we do focused training with abdominal muscles in a way that makes it impossible to allow the belly to raise up with the inflow of air. Lateral breathing teaches us to expand our ribcage and back to allow for a full intake of air.
Now that you are reminded of the importance of the big, beautiful breath, use it!
Don't be shy about breathing fully in a Pilates class.Breathing is one of the Pilates principles; a set of guiding principles for Pilates practice distilled directly from Joseph Pilates' teachings.
