You want my spine to do what?



Pilates can be a difficult practice to love.  Loving it anyway does bring rewards, though.  Because of the nature of Pilates exercises, we can’t hide from our bodies’ quirks.  Pilates exposes the tight places, the joints that would rather not move smoothly, the muscles that have been relying on outside help all this time.

The good news, and there is some, lies in those same exercises and in our minds.  The Pilates repertoire helps us strengthen the weak places, move the stuck spots, and smooth out the rough edges.  Our minds get to build new pathways of movement and new levels of acceptance for the miraculous, unique bodies we each possess.

Breathing brings it all together.  In.  Out.  Repeat.
