STOTT PILATES IMP FIVE BASIC PRINCIPLES

Breathing,,ANS,-,In,through,the,nose,&,out,through,the,mouth,through,pursed,lips.,
Emphasis,is,on,a,3,dimensional,breath,pattern,breathing,into,the,posterior,&,lateral,aspects,of,the,rib,cag

,Exhaling,deeply,can,help,to,activate,the,deep,support,muscles,by,engaging,the,transverses,abdominus.
The,action,of,the,transverses,abdominus,is,to,engage,&,slightly,compress,the,abdomen,stabilising,the,lum
bo,pelvic,region,,especially,in,neutral.
Breathing,,ANS,-
,The,gentle,contraction,of,the,deep,pelvic,floor,muscles,also,aid,in,firing,the,Transverses,Abdominus.
This,breath,pattern,helps,to,avoid,unnecessary,tension,into,the,neck,&,shoulders,&,aids,relaxation.
