Today's is relevant for any physical activity, but it's especially true for Pilates beginners.

Always prioritize quality and controlled movements over quantity. It's more important to do a movement correctly by engaging the right muscles and controlling your breaths than to knock out as many reps as possible.

Everyone starts as a beginner, and it's okay to take your time learning Pilates movements.

“How I wish I had discovered Pilates, this studio, and my excellent instructor Erica Mott much sooner. I started Pilates in September and was hooked from the start. The results are visible and the way I feel and move has dramatically improved. Erica is an extraordinary trainer. She is highly intuitive, knows the body and is attuned to my current limitations. I find her to be innovative in her approach to what I can’t do now but might very well be able to do in the future. The icing on the cake is her caring manner, intelligence, and very positive energy. I love Pilates at Movement Med and think Erica is a gem.” -Diane B.
