How does it compare with Pilates?
Both approaches involve attention to how you move. This comparison explains how Ellie brings them together at BALANCE; individual Pilates teachers and studios also vary in their approach.
| Focus | Pilates | re・Frame exercise® |
|---|---|---|
| Emphasis | Movement, breathing and control through practice. | Alignment, awareness/control and movement learning as a connected process. |
| At BALANCE | Time to practise how you move. | A perspective that connects posture and awareness to the movements you practise. |
| Choosing your session | Choose private, semi-private or group sessions. | Integrated into your BALANCE practice with Ellie. |
You do not need to book two separate services. Ellie brings the approaches together within your BALANCE session, guided by your body and goals.
