PILATES TIPS:
NEVER ask this question to your Pilates Teacher 🤣

✨ Why “Less Is More” in Pilates ✨

The art of efficiency — not exhaustion 💫
In Pilates, it’s not about how much you do — it’s about how well you move. 💪

Every exercise is designed with purpose: to connect your body, mind, and breath. When you move with control, awareness, and precision, a few reps can be more powerful than a hundred done mindlessly.

Joseph Pilates said it best:

“A few well-designed movements, properly performed in a balanced sequence, are worth hours of doing sloppy calisthenics or forced contortion.”

So next time you practice, focus on quality over quantity.
Feel the alignment. Engage your Powerhouse. Move with intention. 🧘‍♀️

Because in Pilates, doing less — but doing it right — is what truly transforms your body and mind. 💫

“If your teacher doesn’t cue, correct, and care… you’re just bouncing on a bed.”

Pilates isn’t about moving for the sake of moving!!! 🙄
It’s about moving with intention, precision, and connection!

A great teacher doesn’t just count reps or demonstrate exercises 🤦‍♀️
they see you.
They guide you.
They care about how every movement lands in your body.

✅ Cueing — helps you understand what you’re doing and why.
✅ Correcting — ensures you’re doing it safely and effectively. Hands on people!!!!
✅ Caring — turns the session into transformation, not repetition.

Without these, Pilates loses its magic — it becomes just another workout 🤷‍♀️
But when your teacher cues, corrects, and truly cares…
that’s when your body changes, your posture transforms, and your mind awakens.

Unfortunately, that’s what I see with many instructors today —
too much bouncing, not enough teaching 🫣
But I’m not giving up. No no no!
I’m dedicated to creating REAL Pilates instructors —
teachers who cue, correct, and care —
because that’s what Joseph Pilates intended… and what our clients deserve. 💪💚

PILATES IS . . .

Everywhere you look, a new reformer studio is opening.
And while that’s exciting — it also makes one thing crystal clear…

Everyone’s got a reformer. Not everyone’s got the skills.

Real talk — the reformer doesn’t make the teacher.
Knowledge does. Care does.
And the ability to see the body, to teach with intention and precision — that’s what makes a Pilates instructor truly stand out. As instructors, your training is important!

Anyone can lead a class.
Few can transform a body.
The difference isn’t in the machine — it’s in the mastery behind it.

So as Pilates continues to boom, let’s raise the standard.
Because Pilates deserves better than trend status — it deserves teachers who care enough to keep the method alive.

Just saying 😜

A reformer is just an equipment — true Pilates comes from someone who guides with precision, empathy and expertise!

I still remember my first time teaching on the reformer , 30 years ago— no fancy branding, no music, no mirrors.
Just me, a client, and the work.
Back then, Pilates wasn’t about aesthetics or trends — it was about understanding the body.

Today, I see reformers popping up everywhere. And while that’s wonderful — more people moving, more awareness — it also breaks my heart a little.
Because with the craze, the word Pilates has been stretched, rebranded, and, at times… completely lost.
How many times I see the word Pilates used and abused and no Pilates is taught 🫣
Movements are copied, but the method — the why, the how, the depth — is often missing 🤦‍♀️

True Pilates isn’t choreography. It’s connection!

It’s knowing when to challenge, when to support, when to stay silent and let the body find its intelligence.
It’s empathy, precision, and care — not performance.

Let’s bring it back to what it truly is: a method of movement that transforms from inside out!

Jaký je rozdíl mezi “fitness pilates” a originál pilates podle Joe Pilatese? Fitness varianta je obyčejné posilování těla jako na jakémkoliv jiném stroji. Vhodné jen pro zdravé a fyzicky zdatné klienty. Originál pilates je pomalé, vědomé cvičení pod dohledem zkušeného instruktora, který zná anatomii lidského těla a ví na co který cvik použit, aby dosáhl zlepšení kondice klienta nebo odstranění jeho pohybových omezení. www.pilatesandharmony.cz
