When my clients finally learn about the benefits of Pilates and walk in the door or find me on their computer screen, at least half say “I’ve been meaning to try Pilates forever!” It can take some time and lots of nudges before we try something new and experience the benefits for ourselves. We wait […]

10 Minute HIIT Workout With Pilates!
Jessica | 
This HIIT workout is no joke, my friends. (You’ll know this as soon as you watch the video and hear how heavy my breathing is). It will make you breathless and sweaty in the best way possible!
