Mastering Your Center: 4 Key Tips for Pilates and Beyond

Centering is at the heart of Pilates, but its benefits reach far beyond your time on the mat. Here are 4 simple tips to help you strengthen your center and bring that focus into every aspect of your life.:

  1. Keep in mind that the ultimate goal of every Pilates exercise is to strengthen your powerhouse.

  2. Start every movement from your center, with proper alignment, so your limbs can move freely without putting strain on your body.

  3. Engage your center and move with opposition to create length and space in your body.

  4. Work on bringing that sense of being centered not just into your Pilates practice, but into your everyday life as well.
