🗣️💨 If you aren’t activating your core during exercise through correct breathing techniques, you’re missing out on the opportunity to take your core strength to the next level! Pilates breathing, or lateral breathing, provides benefits to achieve the best results in pilates exercise.

Pilates breathing:
☑️enables brace for increased load by facilitating correct muscle activation
☑️mobilizes the rib cage and prevents shallow breathing, which causes tension in the neck and shoulders
☑️improves muscle function during exercise and prevents strain
☑️improves circulation and respiration
☑️lowers your heart rate and blood pressure
☑️decreases muscle tension

The benefits go on and on, but try it for yourself and see where that breath takes you! It can be confusing at first, so try correct muscle activation, perfecting the movement, and then adding the breath in last if you’re having trouble initiating movements with your breath.
