Many people ask me: “What exactly is Pilates? Well, that’s a loaded question! After 15 years of passion for Pilates, I still can’t sum it up in a simple way. And do you know why? Because when you start Pilates, you realize just how crazy and complex it is!<\/p>\r\n
We’ve all heard the standard answer: it has no impact, it uses core strength, stability, it improves flexibility, resistance… etc., etc…<\/p>\r\n
But is it really Pilates?<\/strong><\/p>\r\n Romana Kryzanowska summed it up so well: “You can say what Pilates is in three words. Stretch with strength and control. And the control part is the most important because it makes you use your mind.<\/p>\r\n 3 words…..eh well, what do they mean to me?<\/strong><\/p>\r\n For me, For me, the For me, the And I would add 2 other words: balance and connection.<\/strong><\/p>\r\n For me, The For me, Pilates is about learning about your body – connecting your body to your mind. <\/p>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Many people ask me: “What exactly is Pilates?

stretching<\/span>
<\/strong> is synonymous with flexibility and freedom, not only in my body but also in my mind. Be open to feeling new connections – how powerful this is for your state of mind! I’m not a dancer, I’m an accountant. Trust me when I say that I’m not flexible in my body! Pilates has allowed me to accept where my body is and also to stretch myself out of my comfort zone!<\/p>\r\n
strength<\/span>
<\/strong> is strength of character, courage. Pilates helps me find my inner strength in my daily life. It centers me and motivates me. After each Pilates session, I ALWAYS feel better, stronger in body and mind.<\/p>\r\n
control<\/span>
<\/strong> is calmness, composure and direction. Mind over body. A powerful form of meditation.<\/p>\r\n
balance<\/span>
<\/strong>means finding the right formula for your body, and of course integrating it into your life! Work-life balance and family equilibrium.<\/p>\r\n
connection<\/span>
<\/strong> with me means finding the links in my body, feeling my body where it’s stuck, where it’s good, and also connecting as an instructor. It’s all a question of trust when they accompany you on your journey!<\/p>\r\n
connect your body to your mind and find balance<\/span>
<\/strong> – in all aspects of your life. That’s what Pilates is for me.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
