At the heart of Pilates is the integration of mind and body, and the principle of Concentration perfectly embodies this philosophy.
As described in The Pilates Method of Physical and Mental Conditioning, Concentration encourages us to bring our full attention to each movement, transforming exercise into a mindful practice. By cultivating focus, we ensure that every movement is executed with intention and awareness, maximising its benefits.

Concentration is the mental focus required to execute each movement with intention and awareness. By directing your attention to the task at hand, you ensure that movements are performed correctly, enhancing the mind-body connection that is central to Pilates.
Class Focus Points:
• Mindful Movement: Pay close attention to the quality of each movement, rather than rushing through exercises. This mindfulness leads to more effective practice and better results.
• Body Awareness: Continuously scan your body for tension or misalignment, making necessary adjustments to maintain proper form.
