There are six main benefits to Pilates in general:
Alignment: Pilates encourages correct alignment and balances your skeleton so your muscles are held at their ideal length, without tension.
Strength: This wonderful body-conditioning programme increases your strength but does not need any equipment. The strength gains are evident over a very short period of time but you have to be consistent with the programme.
Flexibility ... With the increased muscle functionality Pilates lends itself to overall balance which includes having greater flexibility.
Shape and Tone: This is a no brainer! Of course your muscles will shape and tone
Endurance: Wouldn't it be nice if you can teach your muscles to work harder for longer? Think of the benefits that will give you with general everyday activities - Pilates does that!
Stress Relief: Pilates is an amazing stress-reliever. Apart from all the comments from members about improved strength and flexibility, the most common remark people say time and time again is what a fabulous night’s sleep they get after a Pilates class.
