What does your Pilates instructor really mean when they say "connect to your powerhouse" or "find your center"? If you've ever been confused by these common Pilates cues, you're not alone.
In this video, Lesley Logan explains what the Pilates powerhouse really is, why it's much more than your abs, and how learning to move from your center can improve your strength, posture, balance, coordination and every Pilates exercise you practice. You'll also learn common mistakes that stop you from connecting to your center, how breathing helps activate your powerhouse, and why tension in your neck, shoulders, wrists, lower back, hip flexors, or hip clicking may be signs you're not moving from your center.
Whether you're new to Classical Pilates or have been practicing for years, this guide will help you better understand your body and build a stronger, more connected Pilates practice.
