Pilates Core with Functional Movements with Paula Morizono, CEAS

We usually think of Pilates as a mindful exercise done supine (lying on the back) on a reformer in a Pilates studio, but I think the real value of Pilates must be applied to everyday life movements. Using correct functional movement with a powerful Pilates core is the perfect combination. A functionally strong body with a strong core knows how to strengthen itself doing everyday activities such as lifting groceries, pushing a vacuum cleaner and carrying babies. Everyday life activities become the impetus for the body becoming stronger and stronger; a resilient body expert in handling everyday life movements. Such a functionally strong body with a powerful Pilates core is the perfect combination that can keep us fit for life.
