In a Pilates class, whether on a mat or on the equipment, the focus is on working intensely with proper form, awareness, control, and breath. You will never do hundreds of repetitions of any moves which can set your body up for injury. Instead, you will work in a way that promotes longevity, strength, and health in your body as a whole. There will be fewer repetitions with optimal alignment, helping you to find the “burn” more efficiently. This way of working will begin to change how you approach other forms of exercise and movement in everyday life.
