      Remember to Remember

Every time you walk into the studio, whether it’s your first lesson or your hundredth, there’s something you must bring with you—not just your body, but your awareness.

Pilates is a practice of remembering.

We must REMEMBER to FORGET our old habits—the ones that feel natural but don’t serve us. If we don’t, we inevitably fall back into them. We must remember that we *easily forget* how to move correctly. And when we forget, we fall into the trap of repeating our mistakes—initiating movement from the wrong places, using muscles that shouldn’t be leading, reinforcing patterns that we have been working so hard to undo.

This is why every lesson you take, and every home workout you do, matter. Each time you step onto the mat or the apparatus, it’s an opportunity to reconnect with the principles, to remind your body of what it is truly capable of. It’s not about doing more, trying harder, or moving bigger—it’s about moving *better*. With control. With precision. With awareness.

Some days, the work feels seamless, while on other days, it feels like you are starting from scratch.

That’s normal.

That’s the process.

What matters is that you keep showing up, remembering, and trusting that each lesson is another step toward positive lasting change.

So the next time you walk into the studio or roll out your mat at home, pause for a moment. Take a breath. And remember—because when you do, your movements will transform the way you walk, sit, stand, and live your life.
