PILATES IN MY OWN LIFE: WORDS FROM OUR NEWEST PILATES INSTRUCTOR AND DOCTOR OF PHYSICAL THERAPY

As a certified Pilates instructor, I have seen immense benefit from the impact of Pilates on my physical performance. I performed a series of shoulder stability exercises on the Pilates reformer 3 times a week for 2 weeks. I was able to increase my bench press weight 10 pounds following those two weeks. I’ve also noticed that I sit up straighter and stand with better posture. And it’s not one of those things where I have to remind myself to pull my shoulders back and stand up tall, like my mother always used to say. The routine of Pilates has conditioned the muscles around my spine to naturally position me into a straighter posture. I’ve always valued wellness and the value of the mind-body-spirit connection, especially as it relates to movement. As I turn the corner into my 30s, I truly believe that Pilates is something that strengthens not only the body, but the mind as well. The focus on mental coordination during exercise keep my mind sharp and strengthens my awareness of my body and what it needs, in terms of pain relief, nutrition, posture, and even in relationships with others.
