Pilates makes a difference with consistency.  Joseph Pilates said, " "In 10 Sessions you will feel the difference, in 20 you will see the difference, and in 30 you'll have a whole new body." Pilates makes a difference with consistency.  Joseph Pilates said, " "In 10 Sessions you will feel the difference, in 20 you will see the difference, and in 30 you'll have a whole new body."

For the past seven years I have been teaching an Intro/Beginner Mat class for a 20-session series.  Many people sign up, quite a few progress to the next level (see the Magic Circle Intermediate Group) and occassionally the large majority of the group sticks with the program - consistently thru the entire series -  and can actually see, feel and experience the difference in their body, flexibility and flow of the class.

Take a look at the Beginner Class video snippet and see for yourself!  Flow, flexibility and clear progression is evident in the work and bodies of each of the members of the class.  

Now in truth, it may not be evident to your eyes as an observer, and surely the work of Pilates is never really finished - as the body is always rebuilding itself - but each of these students knows the work and effort required of them to deepen their control, concentration and centering of their body to accomplish the Rollup with such ease and grace. 

Ninety percent of the members of a beginner class have tight hamstrings, strained lower back, weak abdominals and 60% have minimal proprioception (conscious awareness of the body in spatial terms).  

So while the next 20 sessions will present each of them a new challenge as we refine the basic elements of the pilates order of exercises, it is a joy to watch and experience the fluidity, flow and ease of movement each member of the class has gained thru their hard work and consistent practice.
