Given that I’m thinking
about the small stuff that adds up to big stuff this week, I’ll offer a list of
the little shifts that Pilates creates:
1.
Posture. Most of us slouch. Pilates helps us get our hips back under us,
our shoulders back and down, and our heads in line with the rest of our spine.
2.
Height. When we work to articulate our spines in
Pilates, we create more space there. We
look and feel taller and longer.
3.
Grace. As we improve our sense of where our bodies
are in space by moving mindfully, we are less likely to crash into unexpected
furniture, door frames, or humans.
4.
Calm. That same mindful movement, coupled with
focus on breathing, helps us chill out a bit.
Let me know if you want
to try it out!
