The third Principle of Pilates is Control. There are several things we want to Control when we do Pilates. For instance when taking a Pilates Reformer class you always want to be in Control of the carriage as you move. It doesn't matter if your feet or hands are in the loops you always want to be in Control of the movement of your hands or feet. If you're standing on the Reformer then you'll be in Control of the carriage as you move it.
Besides being in Control of the carriage or loops (while you're on the Reformer) you also want to be in Control of your breath. You Concentrate on the Control you have over your breath while you move. This is the first part of connecting your mind to your body as you move.
So to recap the first three Principles of Pilates; Centering, Concentration and Control.
Let's put these three together. You Concentrate on the Control you have over the Center line of your body as you move through different planes of motion.
Stay tuned for the next Principle of Pilates; Precision.
