Pilates Principles: Breath

Breath is movement and the rib cage has many muscles that need to be worked just like all the rest. Our body has over 70 trillion cells that all need to be nourished with oxygen. Breathing is an integral part of pilates - it creates rhythm for the movement, improves our posture, inspires our movement and keeps us alive!  Joe always said "You got to OUT de air to IN de air"!  So, inhale........exhale....... and repeat.
