Pilates can seem very odd at
first. The equipment looks weird
and maybe a little scary, what with all the springs and straps. The exercises seem so simple, except
they turn out to be a lot more challenging than expected.
We come to Pilates for a variety
of reasons. Maybe we find we need
balance. Maybe we want to achieve
good posture. Maybe we would like
to connect with our breathing. Or,
you know, look tall and thin and hot.
The beauty of Pilates is that it
meets us where we are. We get to
focus on the small stuff that makes big differences, whether we are coming back
from injury or looking for a new kind of challenge to add to our exercise repertoire.
If nothing else, Pilates provides
a space to move on purpose and with art.
We can shape our minds along with our bodies.
