Pilates

So, I had my first private Pilates class this week and I'm going back for more.  I had viewed some videos and read up on the history of Pilates and the basic program, but I felt I needed someone to show me the correct body positioning and feedback on proper form.  Susan at Pilates of the Lehigh Valley was awesome!  The studio is really bright and I'm hoping to join a class there in the fall.  It's said that in 10 Pilates sessions you will feel better...I already felt better the day after!  If you're curious, check out these PCL resources or ask me for my opinion (we all know I have an opinion on nearly everything!)
