Happy New Years! Now is the time to make a promise and commitment to yourself. Pilates exercises are the perfect way to get in shape and become healthy. Think of 2010 as the year to focus on yourself, become aligned, increase your flexibility, rid your body of toxins, learn how to breath and strengthen your core muscles to help prevent injuries and make yourself feel younger and taller. With even one class a week, you can....

receive all the benefits from Pilates exercises. New clients have said that after they began Pilates classes, their friends would ask them if they lost weight, got their hair cut, noticed that their necks were longer, and that they were moving through space easier. Another benefit to the Pilates exercises specific to this particular form of exercise is the feeling of total relaxation after your workout. Many of my clients no longer get massages as they find they don't have the need any longer. The stress they felt in their shoulders and neck has disappeared, the deep breath work has calmed their mind and soul. Many worry about the expense of Pilates, remember that when you are aligned, and less stressed, you are generally healthier and have fewer Dr. visits.
