Our Story
Starting your Pilates journey as a beginner can be both exciting and intimidating. With its ability to energize the mind, Pilates provides an invaluable opportunity to develop mind-body connection and movement awareness.
Pilates focuses on the combination of control, movement, breath, and awareness, making the workout experience unique and exceptional.
Pilates performance leads to an increase in energy and vitality by promoting the inherent connection between physical and mental well-being. As a beginner, remember that the Pilates journey is gradual but consistent.
As we age, our bodies naturally lose some of their flexibility and agility, but that doesn’t mean we can’t still feel youthful and vibrant. Pilates, with its gentle yet effective approach to exercise, can help unlock that sense of youthfulness for older adults.
Incorporating Pilates into your daily life promotes self-improvement and personal growth. Embrace the challenges, obstacles and celebrate the small wins.
Trust that sticking with Pilates will lead to improved flexibility, strength, and most importantly, inner peace.
This Pilates blog was created by Donna Finnie, a certified Pilates instructor, and Mark Draper. After witnessing the incredible impact Pilates had on her own life, Donna decided to share her knowledge and passion with others.
