I started Pilates because I wanted to increase my flexibility and core strength in order to protect my body as I get older. Even after a few weeks I could see an improvement and I also noticed how much more relaxed I felt after a session. I feel more aware of my body and can adjust my posture accordingly. My Pilates class prepares me for another week and if I feel any tension in between the next class I can practice a few stretches and movements at home and then I feel great again.
