❤️ Breathing and your heart

How you breathe has a direct impact on how your heart responds. Shallow breathing can increase tension and raise heart rate, while slower, deeper breathing helps calm the nervous system.

Pilates places a strong focus on breathing patterns, which helps improve oxygen flow around the body and encourages a steadier heart rate. This is one of the less talked about benefits of Pilates 🧘‍♀️

Even a few minutes of mindful breathing during movement can help you feel calmer and more balanced.
