Congratulations! You have taken responsibility for your health and well-being. Pilates is a journey of self-awareness, linking the mind, body and senses. It changes your shape by educating you in the movements of daily life. It is my expectation that after trying Pilates, you will feel more comfortable in your own body, moving more gracefully and with ease. Pilates is not content to follow traditional fitness regimes. It utilizes various disciplines to build strength, balance and coordination. Because it is so different, it takes time to adjust. Be patient and excited to learn about your amazing body.
