One of the great achievements of Pilates is the acquisition of body awareness: the process by which we perceive the states, processes and actions that occur in the body. In this way, with the practice of Pilates we form a mental image of the different parts that make up our body, and how they move and interact with each other. We could say that body awareness is the ability to listen to what our body is saying. This undoubtedly increases our control and perceptive sense, we get to know ourselves better and we are also able to take care of ourselves in depth. Sometimes we only pay attention to our body when there is discomfort or for aesthetic reasons. But by working on our body awareness we can work on a deeper level that allows us to analytically know our organism: its state, symptoms, changes, mobility, evolution, and how to achieve its wellbeing.
Body awareness work brings a number of benefits that contribute to improved physical and emotional health and a better quality of life. Another of the achievements of this work is greater control of movement. By learning about our body we can identify its different structures and feel how muscles and joints move, controlling balance and posture. Pilates promotes a better mind-body connection, which helps with pain management. People with more body awareness have more self-acceptance, vitality and less physical pain. It also allows us to better identify our bodily needs and to address them effectively and early.
Body awareness also has an impact on security and tranquillity because a lack of body awareness leads to insecurity about our own body and how it functions. In addition, this development of body awareness is highly conducive to the rehabilitation of injuries, surgeries, neurological conditions or other ailments or dysfunctions. If by moving we are able to feel a discomfort, we will also be able to correct it and prevent it from becoming chronic or degenerating into greater pain. For all these reasons, the Pilates method is one of the most complete exercise systems in existence. Discover with it the power of proprioception.
