One of the most transformative aspects of a movement practice is not just the exercises themselves, but the focus, imagery, and intent behind them.
You can perform the very same sequence with two different points of focus and end up having two completely different experiences, sometimes even two different outcomes, both from a health and training perspective.
This isn’t to say that mindset or focus alone builds strength or improves mobility; technique, progression, and consistency all matter too.
But there is a kind of underlying magic that happens when someone brings the right focus at the right time to the movement they’re performing.
Part of the skill and artistry of a movement or Pilates teacher is knowing how to invite students to explore different perspectives, images, and intentions in their practice.
Done well, this guidance doesn’t just change how the body moves in the moment; it can open up new possibilities for how a person relates to their body, their health, and even their life.
Movement is medicine
