Another way to refresh the Pilates experience is to take it out of the studio and into the world. This is in line with Uncle Joe’s general philosophy.
What does that mean? It can mean anything from thinking about how we are moving while we are weight lifting in the same way we do while we are doing Pilates—focusing on what our bones are doing, on how and when we exert effort, on the quality of the movement itself—to watching the flow of our breath in line at the grocery store or while we wait for the microwave to beep.
Pilates, like all fitness, is not intended as an end in itself, but rather as a means to a happier, healthier, more zestful life. (Zest is a word that Uncle Joe liked a lot!)
Go get zesty!
