One of the most common misconceptions about Pilates is that it’s only a beneficial exercise for individuals who are already fit. The biggest problem with this myth is that it misses the best part of Pilates—the fact that it’s for everyone and anyone! No matter your current fitness level, exercise abilities, gender, age, or lifestyle, […]
The in between, state of limbo, what’s to be learned when you are here? Is this a test of strength? Is this a place where we have the opportunity to reinvent our life. Is the in between a workout room for your body, mind, and soul? The in between can hurt. When ever we attempt […]
