Pilates Demonstration

When we think of wellness we often think of the food we eat, our mental health and the activities we do to keep our bodies active. When we think of exercise…do we see it as a chore or something we look forward to?

Pilates has been completely life changing for myself and many of my clients. Too often we are  slaves to our bodies ailments, dredge going to workouts or simply don’t see results. Pilates is an overall body workout that tones, shapes, strengthens not just the mind but body and soul.

Pilates is a completely different way at looking at how the body moves and engages and for my presentation, I want to show you how health and wellness can be achieved by practising Pilates.  When you  properly align the spine and engage your core muscles, you will already notice the difference and feel more intune with your body. There is value and energy of being in a class setting with like minded people, working  to move the body efficiently, and that is what you will get from my classes. I hope to share that with you with a mini-session with some of my clients during my presentation. Pilates truly is for every-body as you will see from the all levels all ages clients on stage.
