"Hi my name is Ashley Ludman from Seaside Yoga here to tell you a little bit about the benefits of Pilates. Pilates is an exercise program that was originally develop by Joseph Pilates with the concepts of breathing, centering, controlled movement, flowing from one posture, or one exercise to the next. The benefits of Pilates are, they run the gamut. I've experienced benefits of my own body of increase strength, increase posture, increase awareness of how my body moves and its abilities. And also, because of the way that Pilates work, creates an increase strength through eccentric muscle contraction which means the muscles are at their longest form. You'll find that your body will actually change shape. You'll find that your muscles will become a little bit longer. Your bone density, if that's something that you're interested in, will actually improve because this is considered a weight bearing exercise. I also worked with many clients and students who find that because of this increase strength and this increase feeling of well-being, there confidence improves, their digestion improves, their internal organ functions also improve because of this ability to hold themselves out in a way that supports their posture and their increased organ capacity. So that's are just some of the benefits of Pilates and I hope you find more for yourself."
