There are so many benefits to Pilates, especially working on the Reformer machine…
- Increased range of motion & flexibility
- Core strengthening and stability
- Injury prevention
- Improved focus & concentration (maybe even better sleeping)
- Reduced stress
- Relief from back pain
Take it to the next level with Pilates

I really need to share this story from Fitness Magazine: "Finding the perfect match for a workout is just as tough in lycra tights as it is finding the perfect mate in a little black dress." This woman tells her story of how she was burned out with jumping lunges, squats, and loud music until she finally found "the workout she could live with happily ever after: Pilates.":)
Now that's what I'm talking about, right?! But isn't it so true? Once you go Reformer, it's hard to go back....
Once you feel the subtle strength of an imprint and your core muscles strengthening from within, you feel as though you can run a marathon.
And, you probably can! Pilates on the MAT and Reformer makes you stronger, better, faster in all the things you love to do.
In other words, once you have "seen it, done it" with many other forms of exercise -- and I love it all -- you may be ready for Pilates. Celebrate that maturity and realization and just keep practicing. Because the more you do Pilates, the more you feel every move, every turn, every crunch, every breath. It really is that good: "plateauproof." 'Just give it time and see where it takes you. If it isn't for you, you can always go back to the jumping lunges and squats and feel like a million bucks!
And that is how you "Keep the Peace,"
