I love this idea that Pilates is not about getting, but rather about giving to yourself. ๐ฉต
๐ My wish for you - now and into the new yearโฆ
Joseph Pilates said, โPractice your exercises diligently with the fixed and unalterable determination that you will permit nothing else to sway you from ๐ ๐๐๐ฅ๐๐ฃ๐ ๐๐๐๐ฉ๐ ๐ฌ๐๐ฉ๐ ๐ฎ๐ค๐ช๐ง๐จ๐๐ก๐.โ
What a beautiful idea it is to ๐ ๐๐๐ฅ ๐๐๐๐ฉ๐ ๐ฌ๐๐ฉ๐ ๐ฎ๐ค๐ช๐ง๐จ๐๐ก๐ ! ๐
To me, this is a promise to practice self-love without fail.
To never take a day-off from looking for ways to be kinder and gentler with yourself.
To remind yourself that above-all, Pilates is a way of caring for yourself; your body, your spirit, your well-being.
Ultimately itโs not to lose weight, or look a certain way, or to get more followers, or to get to the Pilates Olympicsโฆ.
In fact, itโs not about getting at all.
Itโs about giving.
To yourself, and then - if you have the propensity - to others.
Your Pilates practice is time spent ๐ฐ๐ข๐ญ๐ก you and ๐๐จ๐ซ you.
Itโs a deep form of self-respect.
And my wish for you is not just to practice daily (even in small ways), but to honor yourself in ๐ก๐จ๐ฐ you practice.
I hope you find pleasure, patience and pride in your Pilates practice!
..and in these ways, you will keep faith with yourself.
