"Movement really is one of the key factors in teaching people to breathe better or breathe correctly."  - Katie Crane In this episode, we dive deep into the Pilates principle of breath. Breathing is such a fundamental aspect of our lives, and it plays a crucial role in our Pilates practice as well. In this episode, we explore the physiology of breathing, how it affects our energy levels, and the mechanics of breathing during movement. We also discuss the importance of breath in facilitating the connection of our deep core muscles.   I believe that movement is one of the key factors in teaching people to breathe better. By incorporating movement into our practice, we can improve our breath and enhance our overall well-being. I share my insights on how to approach breath in Pilates and offer tips on when to focus on breath during exercises.   But that's not all! In this episode, I also touch on the other Pilates principles we've covered so far, including centering, concentration, control, and precision. These principles work together to create a holistic Pilates experience that benefits the mind, body, and soul.   If you enjoyed this episode, please like and share it with your Pilates professional and movement-loving friends.
