"I have felt an increase in strength, concentration, and overall conditioning. I have a history of back problems...in the past when I've done abdominal work my back has given me problems. Pilates has given me an increase in strength and thus more vitality." --Linda M.
"As a dancer and long-time mover, I have to tell you that Pilates re-educated me! It has taught me more than anything that I have ever studied before about moving from and engaging my core. I feel empowered in my awareness, which I can invisibly practice while computering, driving or even lying down. In fact, I am "engaged" in my core even as I type this." --Elizabeth
"I started taking Pilates from Lauren and Pilates in Motion in December. I was amazed and relieved to experience this form of an exercise that I had dreaded and hated at the gym! Lauren worked with me at my level, building up my core strength at an appropriate and manageable pace, so as to not create injuries or bad habits in using the wrong muscles. I found that I was able to learn the proper form through hands-on instruction and one-on-one interaction with the teacher. It quickly became addictive, and I saw a marked improvement in my dancing and yoga practice!" --Lauryn
"I have learned to focus my energy on my core muscle group. I feel more healthy as a result and it has given me more confidence- both emotional and physical. I love working one on one rather that going to a gym "doing machines." Pilates feels like a mind, body, holistic approach to good physical health." --Anne
"Pilates is bringing balance to my body and encourages body awareness. My power comes from my center.
I like the diversity of the exercises. Pilates addresses more muscle groups that any other form of exercise I have done. Also, I have a great instructor!!" --Susu
