It’s hard to feel underdeveloped muscles such as the psoas, the deep spinal muscles, and inner thighs. That’s because they are not yet under our control. Therefore we need to concentrate when we practice Pilates. 

Concentration and awareness are the 1st of the six guiding principles of Pilates. Concentration allows your mind to focus on:

Why is it vital today to put the Pilates principles into practice?

In a world where distraction is everywhere, it’s tougher to stay concentrated for a more extended period without checking our phones, planning the next thing, or being worried about the next world problem. But it is the exact reason we do Pilates, in a time where we need to be compassionate yet strong and focused physically and emotionally.

Here are other tips you can practice to help you concentrate.

  • Get 8 hours of sleep.
  • Train your brain to do one single thing at a time instead of multi-tasking.
  • Discipline yourself to be in the moment.
  • Put a timeline on how long you use your phone.
  • Play puzzles.
