Stretching in Pilates: The Secret Key to Opening Up the Body
In Pilates, stretching is a special exercise that aims to increase flexibility, correct posture, and protect the body against injury by lengthening muscles in a controlled manner. When combined with the fundamental principles of Pilates—breathing, control, alignment, and core strengthening—stretching not only lengthens muscles but also increases body awareness.
