The Benefits of Pilates for Figure Skaters

• Core Strength & Stability

      A strong core is the center of all movement. Pilates develops deep abdominal and back muscles that support balance,              posture, and jump control.

• Better Alignment & Body Awareness

      Skaters learn to move with precision and control. Improved alignment translates directly into cleaner edges, steadier                spins, and more consistent landings.

• Flexibility & Range of Motion

      Controlled stretching improves line quality and allows greater freedom of movement—without compromising joint stability.

      Injury Prevention & Recovery

      Pilates helps correct muscle imbalances, protect joints, and support the body through recovery from overuse or strain.

• Mind-Body Connection

      Through focused breathing and concentration, skaters develop the mental control and focus that enhance performance            quality and artistry.
