Balance & Stability
By Gina Jackson • Jan 13th, 2008 • Category: FeaturesPilates enthusiasts know and practice balance regularly with both Mat and apparatus training. Stability, control, balance and flow of movement from the powerhouse center are the key elements of Pilates. As Pilates teaches that all movement must begin from the stabilized core.
Thus the following article, (New York Times , January 8, 2008, Jane Brody) should come as no surprise. While the author does not mention Pilates as a practice discipline used to train the body in developing balance, I couldn’t leave it out or pepper the article with a few practiced examples of Pilates exercises that teach one to use and preserve, “a sense of balance.”
