How to learn pilates
It made me
proud of myself
 "What an amazing experience - I now do a Body Balance class "that calls upon the ancient arts of Yoga, Feldenkrais,
Pilates and Tai Chi as the perfect antidote to the stresses of modern life.""
How I did it: Joined my local gym and started taking the class offered on Saturday mornings. At the end of the class is a meditation session which I found extremely useful for unwinding after a busy week at work - I leave feeling light and positive and energised which is a great way to start the weekend!! Lessons & tips: Make sure you let the instructor know you are a beginner so he/ she can guide you through the poses a little easier and help to make sure you are holding your posture correctly, etc Resources: My local gym

Happy and fit!
How I did it: I found a great pilates studio walking distance from my apartment. For the first little while, I went with a friend but she eventually dropped out (the studio was much further from her place). I bought monthly unlimited packages which meant that the more often I went, the less I paid for each class. I stuck with the classes and instructors I liked and avoided the ones I didn't. After about 6 months, I felt like I really understood what I … Read how I did it…

Started a class

Went to my first pilates class last week – blimey! I can definitely benefit from this! I didn’t really know if i was doing anything right … didn’t think i managed to “engage” all the core muscles i was meant to but instructor assured me that it would all happen in time if i keep attendng the classes.
I’ve booked up for the beginners course so i’ll go regularly. Next session in a few days, we’ll see how it goes …

and an 8 week course

Well I’ve been really enjoying the 5 week course – I can’t beleive how chilled out I was yesterday after the class, considering how stressful my day was.
So I’ve signed up for the 8 week summer course. I hope I can learn enough that I can start doing it every day at home. :)

and get an exercise mat so that i can do pilates at home whenever i want instead of joining a class which i often missed n still hv to pay for it!

I went to my first class yesterday. Oof. It’s working muscles that clearly needed work for some time.
