When someone asks “Isn’t Pilates just stretching?” I swear if I have one more gym, bro, ask me if Pilates is just stretching, I’m gonna flip a table! I was talking to somebody yesterday who’s training for a marathon, and he told me he’s having back issues, knee issues, flexibility issues, and he doesn’t know what to do. So I was trying to tell him about Pilates and get him to come into the studio, and told him that you get strength and stretch all at once and then it’s such a good thing for runners and relieving back pain. And then he tells me oh I get my strength from the gym cause I weight lift! And then he says isn’t the Pilates just for stretching? Ay por favor! Some people just don’t get it and that is okay. It’s our jobs as teachers to TEACH! Not just a class but to educate others on what Pilates is. it’s part of the reason that I am so obsessed with trying to preserve the legacy of Joseph Pilates and to educate people on the difference between classical Pilates and what they see on TikTok and Instagram! These water down versions of Pilates, that you see online only further confuse people about the benefits of what Pilates is! #pilates #pilatesformen #pilatesworkout #pilateslovers #pilatestok
