A Note from Joanna

ā€œI created this video to help you take the first step in finding out what the Pilates method feels like in your own body. I want you to try each exercise and assess what your weaknesses areĀ and where you need to improve. Even though these 6 exercises are the "basic", the first exercises to learn, they are by no means the easiest to execute. Try them, see where your body is at, and start building strength, stamina, and flexibility.

By now, you know that practicing Pilates is good for you. You just have to take the first step. Why not start at your own pace and in the comfort of your home? When you come to the studio, you will be better equipped to handle all the new information or have tons of questions for us here at Harmonious to clarify for you. Happy Pilates :)! Joanna
