Pilates is excellent for body awareness, helping us to coordinate and understand our movement and correct posture over time, not to mention the aesthetic benefits (but that's not what we're in it for...right? ;)). Many people start Pilates to 'tone their abs' which is great but they stay and fall in love for how amazing it makes them feel. "I love how focused each movement is but somehow we can still get lost in the class, which is very relaxing and rewarding" Niamh Dublin
Johanna's advice "Stick with it. It's super easy to get hooked and effortlessly make it a part of your routine, especially with before work, lunch time and evening offers available. I always do at least two classes a week, outside of my own practice and the classes I teach because I would simply miss it if I didn't. We all want to progress and feel great, right? Johanna is looking forward to getting to know you beginners out there and helping you through your early journey in Pilates. "Progression is very important to me. Customers should feel as though they are getting stronger, learning more moves and variations to the exercises and mastering Pilates". Thank you very much for your time!
