I see Pilates Fitness as offering “Holistic Fitness”, meaning fitness, but fitness that is inextricably linked to a fully holistic view of how mind and body work.
For me, practising Pilates has been the first step towards realising the existence of this link. From there, I have grown to explore and be amazed at how everything is linked together.
This means that we cannot just, for instance, “flatten our belly” by itself (sorry if this is a disappointment to you). Instead, we need to look at the whole picture: our health, lifestyle, nutrition, digestion, sleep, hormones and even the thoughts we entertain on a regular basis.
We then need to come up with (and follow at least 85% of the time) a plan that guides our body (or “system”) back towards balance, what we call “homeostasis”, the condition where the body functions at its best and where we feel more vibrantly healthy and have the most VITALITY.
I see Pilates as an important step in this, but all the rest has also to be accomplished.
To help more people feel better, I will be talking more about nutrition and lifestyle and offering more “comprehensive” packages including:
a) fitness + nutrition + lifestyle coaching
b) fitness + massage+ lifestyle coaching
c) fitness + nutrition + massage + lifestyle coaching
