Here is a DVD that you'll definitely want to strengthen your body for worship dance (or any physical activity)! The benefits are wonderful and numerous. To name a few: "The controlled breathing purifies the body, reduces stress and builds endurance. Core strength is one of the most important benefits of doing Pilates exercise, Because all movement emanates from the core. If the core is strong, the appendages can move without undue stress on the spine. A strong core also helps to improve balance and coordination. Pilates helps to strengthen opposing muscle groups. This leads to overall improved flexibility. The whole body functions more efficiently. Pilate's exercises also improve kinesthetic awareness, which helps a person to know where their body is in space. Spatial awareness and core control help to improve the performance of everyday activities, prevent injuries and facilitate rehabilitation." 1
