Pilates for me is not all about the exercise and toning aspect, although thats all good. One of the things I love about it is it’s so different to the other exercise I do (I teach classes such as Step Aerobics, Aerobics, Spin and I run), its challenging and varied so keep me interested but also it relaxes me. I don’t just get that feel good feeling that exercise gives, I get the added bonus of feeling refreshed and revitalised, its like a good tonic for me. \u00a0We all needs times in our week when we have “me” time and exercise can be a great way to build that in. My one to one pilates sessions provide that for me and can provide that for you as well!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
