It's a Practice, Not a Perfect

Hey there Pilates Pal,

I just wanted to take a moment to remind you of something truly amazing – YOU! Every time you step into the studio, it's like a burst of sunshine and positive energy. Your presence in the studio is truly valued, and I feel privileged to be part of your Pilates journey as well as sharing my love and what I know about Pilates thus far.

I also want you to know Pilates is a PRACTICE. It is not about being perfect or getting it right all in one session. Trust me, you will learn as you go and as you PRACTICE. Use your lesson as a chance to check-in and a way of caring for your body and working on your health. Each day you practice will be different and some days are better than others.

As I have said before, it is brave and courageous to leave out exercises and repeat the ones you want to practice over again. Any amount of time practicing Pilates is better than no time spent at all. Plus, each time you practice an exercise, it is creating the next time you do it, a better, more improved, stronger exercise to come. Today's Teaser, will help to improve tomorrow's Teaser, I promise! Every rep, every breath, every moment spent on the Reformer, or any piece of Pilates Equipment, is a step forward.

And here's the real magic – with every practice, you're not just building physical strength; you're also nurturing a stronger, more empowered version of yourself. How incredible is that?

So, thank you for letting me be a part of your Pilates journey. Together, we'll laugh, we'll sweat, and we'll crush those core exercises like nobody's business! Pilates is all about the journey, not the destination. So, let's embrace the imperfections, the wobbles, and the "oops" moments together.

Oh, and I'm wanting to know – which Pilates moves are lighting up your world this month? Drop me a line and let me know!

Keep shining bright,

Courtney Peper
