Hi Cindy,

Thank you for your question. The biggest challenge anyone faces regarding fitness is attitude and commitment. Attitude and commitment are everything!

Pilates and yoga are very different, but make a happy fitness “marriage”. Knowing what you’re getting is the key to a lifestyle of practicing fitness so that one can enjoy all of life more. A classically trained, lineage-based Pilates instructor knows how to teach The Method as it is intended to be practiced for maximum benefits for body and mind. For this reason, consumers should try to find studios with classical apparatus and classically trained teachers. Many places are selling “Pilates” and aren’t practicing the authentic Method. Clients are always relieved (thankfully) to get to STAR after trying other places, and I love helping them live their best!

Best regards,

Gyl
