Pilates Benefits
Pilates conditions the body from head to toe with a low-impact approach suitable for all ages and abilities. It requires patience and practice, but results will follow.
BEWARE of Pilates programs that promise dramatic weight loss or overnight transformations. That’s not what pure Pilates is about.
STAY AWAY from the teachers who don’t ask you about your injuries and physical problems during the initial visit and/or keep rushing you through exercises. PILATES IS NOT ABOUT SPEED.
