"The Pilates breathe (lateral thoracic breathe) has been shown to reduce stress so you'll feel mentally and physically stronger. And as with all exercise, it releases endorphins which enhance our mood." This even triggers a relaxation response in our brain. (Yes please.) Pilates is not easy. But with an expert instructor like Helen, each and every move will feel good and worthwhile, even though at times we admit, it will be far from easy. Besides the physical side of it, it’s amazing for clearing your head of too many thoughts (WE HAVE TOO MANY) as it requires all your concentration and focus. Helen says; "My goal when teaching is to really engage my clients. Helping them to understand why we're doing each movement, the benefit of each movement and the muscle groups involved. It means explaining each movement along the way with clear and concise communication and taking a hands-on approach to correction where necessary." Believe us you’ll feel so relieved, calm, stronger and more supple after. Forget about your fitness level, concentrate on your form first and take it from there. And if there are any injuries or pregnancies – Helen is more than happy to show you alternative moves throughout the class. So it's pretty obvious that Pilates is terrific for us, but what about that employer of yours? Be sure to mention that with better health comes greater staff morale and engagement, a feel-good attitude, greater productivity and much less risk of illness. After all, when you take care of your employees, they take care of your business. So, it's in every employers interest to ensure employees get moving and keep healthy and happy. Prepare to feel fabulous everyone and be sure to get everyone in the office on board. Brought to you by Body Precision Pilates.
