Wellness Matters Magazine May/June 2013 Issue www.wellnessmattersmagazine.com You've Got to Move It, Move It!Pilates for a Symbiotic Mind and Bodyby Monique Molino
Today life is crammed with demands on personal time, energy, and space. When you continuously care for others without taking care of yourself, you reach beyond your capacity to function. Like a hard drive with too much information, you essentially crash and burn due to these physical and mental imbalances. At a Pilates class it’s your time to recharge your batteries so you can rediscover your mind-body equilibrium. The Pilates breathing technique will help you to capitalize on your strengths without wearing yourself down.
