Body-Mind Connection: The state of focusing the mind on the body's movements. To some extent Pilates represents a blend of Western and Eastern approaches to fitness: one is dynamic, stressing motion, strength, and muscle tone, while the other is static, focusing on stretching, rest, and contemplation. An increased body-mind connection will allow clean, centered movement free from strain, while the physical exercises can relieve mental fatigue. In essence, the mind and body should not be in conflict, but should instead work in concert.
