Stress Reduction.

Pilates also teaches you to breathe properly,

which is a recognized stress reduction technique.

Part one is Inhaling through the nose ensures that the air is warm and properly filtered.

Through the process of deep breathing oxygen reaches the lowest parts of the lungs.

This is a part that is often unused due to improper breathing.

Part two involves exhaling through your mouth.

Breathing out through the mouth is referred to as forced expiration.

Exhaling through the mouth involves the use of abdominal contractions,

which plays an important part in building the body’s core strength

– the main focus of Pilates.

The Pilates breathing techniques work towards relaxing the body by unraveling the tension and stress present in the body.

It results in a more effective flow of oxygen to all your vital organs.
