Mindful Pilates

Lets be honest...we are all guilty of just going through our lives and days without mindfully being present.  Think about it...do you ever have an instance where you were driving and you don't remember passing certain landmarks on your route?  You are not alone...

We are all guilty of it as scary as that may be.

Sometimes our days can go by without even acknowledging a sense of self...

(here is an idea)

COMMIT PILATES TO YOU!!!

You are taking pilates for you anyway right?  Why not take full advantage of your class time to completely dedicate and worship you!  When is the last time you remember feeling your back muscles contract during news paper or feeling your abdominal muscles tighten together while performing catfish?  We all are guilty of just going through the motions.  

If you take an extra moment to focus in on your body with your mind, you will not only gain more mindful awareness but your body will thank you too!  You will see quicker results being mindful to your body and muscles during the exercises.  It is when your muscles fully contract and isolation occurs in specific targeted muscles that the physique you are looking for will shine through!

Even right now...

Take a moment...

Deep Breathe...

Squeeze your abs

(how simple was that)

That was mindful muscle contraction!
