			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Power Pilates are standard Pilate education forms which have been in operation since 1989. They are running certification programs from the year 1997. Their main purpose is to honor the methods taught by Joseph Pilates. In addition to this, they also teach new and innovative techniques to various students. There are 6 Power Pilate studios in New York City, 3 in California and 2 in Chicago.</p>
<p><span id="more-177"></span></p>
<p>Dana Eisenstein is one of the teachers in power Pilates. She was born in South Florida. She had passion for performance from her childhood.  She learnt to dance and became a professional dancer. She began to learn Pilate techniques as a way to cure her dance related injuries she then noticed a tremendous change in her body and mind. She then started doing her certification course in Pilates and completed the course in 1998. Now she is one of the senior grade teachers in Power Pilates. She is organizing certification programs all over the world. She had released numerous DVDs, books etc on Power Pilates.</p>
<p>Power Pilate’s aims at providing the exercise techniques simpler. It also focuses on providing great relaxation to the performer. Unlike Conventional exercise routines, Pilates are being performed without any stress. These techniques are safe and effective. Many Hollywood celebrities and sports athletes are practicing these techniques nowadays.</p>
<p>Power Pilate in New York City specializes in providing physical training to people. It has lot of Pilate apparatus. It may look like circus training institute. But the exercises taught here are basically intended to get core strength. Female students are taught some classical approach. Pilate techniques taught here are the best way to get flat tummies and slim hips.</p>
<p>Power Pilates help in proper alignment of body. Many students learnt these techniques with ease. The movements taught here are similar to dance or yoga. But Pilates is not a derivative of Yoga. The only disadvantage of these techniques is that they are too bored since there are number of exercises involved here.</p>
<p>In fact many people get lot of benefits by doing power Pilates. They believe that they have got tremendous change in body and mind. They feel that it is a wonderful experience to do these work outs. Power Pilate is therefore a great organization that supports number of people to learn the techniques easily and quickly. </p>
<p>Pilate’s techniques are taught here irrespective of the age. Old people aged above 45 years can also learn these techniques. They will surely find the range of motion of body and flexibility in muscles. </p>
<p>Though we can practice Pilate exercises at home in a mat, it is advisable to visit Power Pilates at least twice a week in order to get the help of experts. It will really increase the benefits of the Pilate exercises.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Pilates is the exercise of choice for dancers, gymnasts, and a host of famous Hollywood celebrities, and now it finds itself firmly entrenched in the mainstream. So why is pilates so hot?</p>
<p><span id="more-149"></span></p>
<p>&#13;<br />
Pilates incredible popularity can be traced to the fact that it provides its faithful practitioners with benefits that you simply can't get through traditional aerobics/strength training format.</p>
<p>&#13;<br />
1. Makes You into Muscle Man</p>
<p>&#13;<br />
If want a long, lean look without bulky muscles, but with all the strength. Would you like to build strength and endurance without getting the muscle man look? If so, pilates may be just what you have been searching for.<br />&#13;<br />
There's a reason that pilates is the exercise of choice for gymnasts and professional dancers. Most conventional workouts tend to create bulky muscle. Why is this? In most workouts, the emphasis is placed on repetition and building strong muscles.</p>
<p>&#13;<br />
This causes already-strong (think: big) muscles to get even strong, and thus bigger. Pilates does not rely on frequent repetition, and thus no overgrown muscles. Pilates focuses on the whole body, not just on sections of muscles. </p>
<p>&#13;<br />
2. Increases the Strength of Stabilizer Muscles</p>
<p>&#13;<br />
There are many benefits that one can achieve through a proper use of the pilates program. One of the most significant points of the pilates program is it's ability to increase the strength of stabilizer muscles that may not commonly be worked out in a standard exercise program.</p>
<p>&#13;<br />
Also, since pilates stresses the use of graceful and fluid movements, it can be a great way to get a better sense of the kinesthetics of your body. The sense of body that you can achieve through pilates is quite significant, and many find that they are better able to balance themselves regardless of the position that they are in.</p>
<p>&#13;<br />
3. A Mind-Body Workout That Strengthens Your Whole Body</p>
<p>&#13;<br />
Another one of the benefits of Pilates is that it engages the mind and enhances body awareness. Like yoga, tai chi, and Asian martial arts, Pilates is not just a workout for your body. Joseph H. Pilates studied yoga, martial arts, and other ancient mind-body activities and included a strong philosophical foundation into the practice of Pilates.</p>
<p>&#13;<br />
Pilates not only helps tone your body, but your mind and spirit as well. The smooth, precise and flowing movements of Pilates are designed to make you more mindful of your body.</p>
<p>&#13;<br />
Breath movement is also emphasized to put you in touch with how breath moves through your body. Pilates has been demonstrated to reduce stress, anxiety, and helps lift depression. The mind-body connection is fundamental to the study and practice of pilates.</p>
<p>&#13;<br />
4. Pilates Strengthens Your Core like No Other Exercise</p>
<p>&#13;<br />
Another one of the benefits of Pilates is that the increased amount of strength that one can achieve in the 'core' of the body. The term core refers to the muscles in and around the area of the abdominal muscles and the back.<br />&#13;<br />
Proper breathing control is also stressed in pilates, adding to the numerous list of benefits that one can attain through regular use of the exercise program.</p>
<p>&#13;<br />
5. Prevents You from Future Injuries</p>
<p>&#13;<br />
Pilates strengthens your body and helps prevent future injuries. Pilates helps to condition the whole body, not just certain muscles. This helps balance the muscle and strength of the body. Since no set of muscles is ever over or under trained, there is less risk for injury. The body becomes more fluid and supple, protecting against injury. </p>
<p>&#13;<br />
6. Helps You Become Efficient With Your Body</p>
<p>&#13;<br />
Last, but not the least one of the benefits of Pilates is that it teaches you how to become efficient with your body. Very few exercises can help your body become more efficient in its movement.<br />&#13;<br />
Why is efficiency so important? Being efficient means that your body moves in a way, that is smoother, safer, and less prone to injury. By practicing pilates on a regular basis, you can train your body more to move in a much safer and more efficient manner. </p>
<p>&#13;<br />
Benefits of Pilates for Older Adults</p>
<p>&#13;<br />
The benefits of pilates have been particularly noted in older adults. Older adults are more likely to suffer from symptoms of arthritis, including stiff and painful joints. Pilates practice has also been lauded for its ability to help prevent injury.<br />&#13;<br />
Even adults undergoing serious rehabilitation therapy can use Pilates to increase their range of motion and overall muscle strength. But is Pilates safe for all adults? Who should avoid participating in a Pilates program, and who is more likely to benefit from the program? </p>
<p>&#13;<br />
Consult your medical professional if you have any doubts about your pilates program. If you are suffering from severe degeneration or physical pain, you should take extra care before beginning a pilates program.<br />&#13;<br />
You should never feel pain while practicing pilates. If you do, you know that there is something wrong. Don't be afraid to pull back if you feel overwhelmed.<br />&#13;<br />
Pilates was designed to progress naturally from one movement to another. If you feel stopped at one movement, don't give up. Start at the beginning and work your way back to the areas you found most challenging. </p>
<p>&#13;<br />
Other Benefits of Pilates<br />&#13;<br />
Tone and build long, lean muscles without bulk. <br />&#13;<br />
Reduce stress, relieve tension, and boost energy through deep stretching. <br />&#13;<br />
Restore postural alignment. <br />&#13;<br />
Create a stronger, more flexible spine. <br />&#13;<br />
Increase joint range of motion. <br />&#13;<br />
Improve circulation. <br />&#13;<br />
Heighten neuromuscular coordination. <br />&#13;<br />
Offer relief from back pain and joint stress. <br />&#13;<br />
Correct over-training of muscle groups which can lead to stress and injury. <br />&#13;<br />
Enhance mobility, agility and stamina. <br />&#13;<br />
Compliment sports training and develop functional fitness for daily life activity. <br />&#13;<br />
Improve the way your body looks and feels.</p>
