Q: Do I need to know how to swim to do Peyow® Aqua Pilates?
A: You do not need to be a swimmer to do Peyow® Aqua Pilates. We use buoyancy and floatation devices in the workout. For those who cannot swim, no deep water exercises are advised. It is advisable to make sure to use a pool that has a lifeguard on duty and NOT to swim or exercise in a pool alone.
Q: What is the difference between this and Aqua Aerobics?
A: Peyow® Aqua Pilates concentrates on exercises that are powered from the center of the body, rather than moving the limbs to increase heart rate without engaging the core muscles. Very often in Peyow® Aqua Pilates we focus on the stabilizing (or still) parts of the body rather than the moving parts.
Q: Pilates Mat classes are usually lying down on a mat. How can you do that in water?
A: Peyow® Aqua Pilates exercises are in different positions, seated, standing, floating, etc. so that you are training to stabilize your core muscles in every position. It is similar to the Pilates equipment exercises with the resistance of water, noodles and dumbbells.
