How can 10 Minutes Pilates Online can help your Mental Health? 10 minutes Pilates Online done regularly 4 times a week as recommended by Joseph Pilates will have a positive effect on your mind and body.

Pilates developed his method originally called “Contrology” in the 1930’s. His definition was “the complete coordination of body, mind and spirit”

His aim was that you developed a connection between your body and mind to preform the exercises properly. He states that one of the main results of Pilates is gaining mastery over your mind and over complete control of your body.

He suggests in this “New World (this was 1930’s 40’s!) we don’t use our minds enough other than performing everyday tasks. By challenging our bodies we challenge our minds as well. Giving you that refreshing/ well being feeling at the end of your pilates session.”

As you gain more experience on your Pilates journey, the exercises become more challenging and therefore your mind continues to be challenged.

With all of this in mind you can begin to see how Pilates can make a difference on your mental health.

Although not normally seen as a Mental Health issue it can lead to mental health problems, leading to depression, anxiety etc. The Mental Health Foundation did a survey last year and found that 74% of people surveyed felt stressed at some point that they felt overwhelmed or unable to cope. The survey, commissioned by the Mental Health Foundation and undertaken by YouGov, polled 4,169 adults in the UK in 2018.

How 10 minute Pilates Online can help your Mental Health

At the beginning of the year I contacted a blogger Lauren who has a blog called Milly’s Guide. Lauren suffers with Mental Health and was keen that she tried Pilates to see the benefits it could give her. I offered her a 3 month trial of 10 Minute Pilates online. Her blog “6 reasons why Pilates is good for your Mental health” gives a great insight into Laurens take on the benefits it has given her.

There is lots of evidence that Pilates practiced regularly can have a very positive effect on your mind and body. Mental health effects people in different ways and going out to a class might not be the right thing for everybody. So doing an online class could be the perfect answer to help with Mental Health.
