At Cornerstone Movement Institute, we help our clients build strength, mobility, and body awareness through mindful, precise movement. If you’re just starting your Pilates journey these are some helpful key principles to keep in mind:

1. Prioritize Breath and Alignment: Controlled breathing supports spinal alignment and efficient movement.

2. Emphasize Precision Over Range: Focus on controlled, accurate movements rather than speed or size.

3. Respect Individual Capacity: Work within a your own range and use modifications to progress safely.

Every movement counts, start where you are and grow with intention. 🤍
