At Physiotherapy@Carefirst, we believe that Pilates is not just about physical fitness; it’s also a powerful tool for enhancing mental well-being. As the leading practitioners of Pilates in New Plymouth, Taranaki, our classes are designed to promote mindfulness, reduce stress, and improve overall health.

How Pilates Promotes Mindfulness:

Focusing on Breath Work: Each class begins with controlled breathing exercises, driven by the diaphragm or “belly breathing.” This technique helps relax muscles around the neck, chest, and shoulders, reducing tension and promoting relaxation. By integrating breath with movement, Pilates enhances movement efficiency and has a calming effect on the body.

Movement Control: Precision in movement encourages mindfulness, helping you stay present in the moment. This connection between mind and body is a key element of our Pilates practice, fostering a deeper awareness of your body and its movements.

Reducing Stress: Like other forms of physical activity, Pilates triggers the release of endorphins, the body’s “feel-good” chemicals. Our classes offer a much-needed break from the busyness of life, allowing you to focus on yourself and unwind.

Improving Sleep: The combination of physical activity, relaxation, and mindfulness in Pilates can lead to better sleep quality, enhancing overall well-being.

 

What to Expect in Our Classes:

At Physiotherapy@Carefirst, each Pilates session begins with relaxation and breathing exercises to help you get into the right mindset. We then transition into a series of strength and mobility exercises, with a continuous focus on breathing and movement. The class concludes with exercises centred around mobility and mindfulness, leaving you feeling refreshed and centred.
