STABLE & STRONG Center

Have you ever consciously asked yourself the question:
Why am I moving?

What's your first intention to this question?

If you are still thinking about it, I would like to give you a brief impulse in this text.

Intuitively, we move to balance our homeostasis. This means that we keep our organism in balance.

This includes:

• healthy sleep,
• fresh air,
• the power of the sun and heat,

Coupled with social needs, such as:

• Safety & Community,
• Joy & social contact,
• Recognition, attention, further development,
• Relaxation and much more...

If we lose the motivation to move, our homeostasis becomes unbalanced. We become out of shape. Often it is external factors such as stress at work, family, social obligations, etc. that we blame for the fact that we lack the time for a few minutes of conscious exercise a day.

The consequences of lack of exercise are:
Our performance decreases, pain in the musculoskeletal system increases, we feel immobile, unattractive and react to this with irritability and a bad mood.

I for one, love my morning routine like: preparing my porridge, doing my Pilates & breathing exercises, doing the cold water treatments and other little touches, then enjoying the flavorful porridge with a fragrant cup of tea.

For me, these sensory perceptions are the basis for an active start to the day.

Now you might ask, what does this have to do with exercise?

Because I am in my center, I succeed in these rituals, with a certain ease and joy. For years, I have been moving regularly, purposefully and consciously. And therein lies the essence. Be it with Pilates, my breathing and meditation rituals, as well as my connection to nature.

So that you too can find this center, I would like to support you. I will show you ways to strengthen your body awareness through movement, breathing, sensory perception and relaxation and thereby find access to yourself.

Our agenda for this Pilates class:

Part 1: Approx. 10 minutes
Swinging warm up combined with a conscious breath flow

Part 2: Approx. 30 minutes
Dynamic main program with Pilates training for a stable center

Part 3: Approx. 10 minutes
Relaxation through a vagus nerve meditation

Here is my recommendation, what you should always have ready for training:

• Training mat
• Towel
• A small cushion
• Yoga blocks
• Massage ball
• Flex tape

Preparation for the Pilates lesson:

• Ventilate the room before training.
• Prepare a cup of tea.
• Create a positive atmosphere in the room - e.g. candle, good scent, fine background music.
• Move cell phone, laptop, TV out of sight, hearing and reach.
