Subtle

Pilates can be a subtle practice.  Most of the time when we do it, we don’t end up sore.  We might feel tired, but we’re also energized in a calm kind of way after our sessions.  It can be hard to notice what Pilates does for us.

Until we skip it a while.

 

I notice the lack of Pilates when all of a sudden those problem areas of my body start whining again.  I find my range of motion decreases.  So does my flexibility and my balance.  I move with less grace.  And the hamsters in my head start their obsessive running.

 

The good news is that Uncle Joe is always there, ready for us, however we show up.  When we breathe and move mindfully, we tap into the Pilates magic.
