I believe Pilates meets the student
where they are, at the current moment. It challenges strength, flexibility and endurance in the same session.
I love the teaching moments when a client feels like they can't move,
feel better or get fit and we get through a session and they walk away feeling better, taller and stronger.

ners. “Check out all the local studios to see what they offer. It’s best to start out taking classes twice a week with a certified teacher for two to three months. That’s easy to commit to. Then you can see if Pilates is right for you.”

Music Makes Exercise Easier L
istening to music during a workout or any extended,
physically demanding activity can reduce fatigue and improve performance. New research published in Psychophysiol- ogy shows that as individ- als work out, their attention grad-
u- u-
ally shifts from the activity around them to internal sensations. Over an extended period, this attention shift creates a sense of exertion. Listening to music while exercising can help shift focus away from the internal fatigue and back to the external world. Researchers from the UK’s Brunel University and
University of London tested 19 healthy adults that per- formed two physical exertion tests while listening to either music or silence. The scientists monitored brain activ- ity using EEG and measured task performance. While listening to music, participants showed both reduced fatigue and decreased stress-related brainwaves. They also performed their tasks more effectively than they did when music wasn’t being played.
