Fundamentals of Pilates

There are several fundamentals of Pilates; some schools have six, Body Control Pilates has eight.

They all feed into each other, helping to deepen understanding, motivation and practice.

The fundamentals of Pilates were not set down by Joseph, but by his students following his death and even though there may be different titles and slightly different explanations of each fundamental, we’re basically all singing a similar song!

To read about each one, please click on the link. (I’ll be adding more Fundamental of Pilates very soon)

Coordination

Alignment

Core Stability
