"Full body exercise for full body living." How's that for a Pilates ad? It could work. Joseph Pilates was very clear in his writings that he intended his system of exercise to help people live the fullest lives they could -- enjoying flexibility, strength, and graceful movement throughout life, not just in the studio.
Are you translating how you move in Pilates exercises into how you move in daily life? Sometimes all it takes is a nudge to start thinking in that direction and it all connects up. With that in mind, I put together a photo essay matching daily life movements up with basics we learn in Pilates so you can see the connections yourself. I hope you like it.
