Pilates: how can the method help you sleep better?
The Pilates method is a type of exercise that allows the practitioner to create more body awareness through the series of movements performed, which provides more well-being and relaxation – factors that directly contribute to the quality of sleep.
Besides, Pilates is a method that works with breathing control, which helps to calm the whole body, reducing anxiety and stress problems. Many people can’t sleep well because they are tense because of daily activities and issues, but with Pilates it’s possible to improve posture and relax tense muscles to reduce pain and have calmer nights.
Therefore, Pilates is the best method to promote more well-being, flexibility, body awareness and muscle balance. Just like any physical exercise, with the performance of movements during Pilates classes, whether with the help of equipment or not, the body begins to release endorphins and neurotransmitters related to relaxation and sleep, which produce a feeling of well-being, and reduce anxiety at bedtime. By starting Pilates exercises, you can have full control of your body and also your mind, which can bring a lot of benefits for all aspects of your life. Don’t have more doubts! The method is an extremely effective tool in the treatment of sleep disorders.
