The Best Kind of Pilates?

Hey guys!


So- I often get asked what kind of Pilates is “the best.”


As you can imagine, there are lots of differing opinions out there. 


Mine happens to be that “the best” kind of Pilates is the kind that you can do safely, pain-free, and consistently. If it also feels awesome and is fun or you are encouraged by your progress, then I endorse it even more fully! 


I have summarized some of the pros and cons below based upon my training, experience, and professional opinion. If you have some thoughts you’d like to share below in the comments, I’d love to see them!


Overall Benefits of Pilates

  • can be modified to work for every body
  • improved strength, mobility, and coordination
  • Improved static and dynamic posture 
  • improved balance & fall prevention
  • increased confidence in movement ability 
  • improved mood
  • injury prevention
  • increased mental focus & productivity
  • improved breathing/lung fitness 
  • stress management
  • mind body connection
  • a great supplement to other workouts or activities
  • promotes active and healthy aging


The list goes on and on, but those are some of the highlights.


Benefits of Private Lessons:
  • Everything is designed and taught to meet your unique needs.
  • You will be able to learn and progress at your own pace.
  • Avoid overwhelm & frustration, you can stop and ask as many questions as you need without feeling embarrassed or that you are slowing the class down
  • Props that help you achieve the intent and “get the feeling” of each exercise will support you in having positive movement experiences
  • The instructor will make sure you get the specific corrections you need, and can even modify the exercise on the spot to help you find a way to do it correctly. 
  • The machines/apparatus are so amazing! and fun…
  • It is a great way for people with significant health or physical challenges to safely exercise.
  • You don’t have to be able to get up and down off of the floor.
  • Create a smooth, safe transition back to full activity after an injury or illness. 


Benefits of Group Classes:
  • Great social interaction & connection with like minded individuals
  • You can ask questions that the instructor can answer immediately
  • You will get corrections in addition to helpful cues 
  • lower price point that private lessons


Benefits of Videos:
  • convenience, no travel time
  • can be done whenever it fits into your busy schedule
  • you are still doing Pilates!
  • can be a helpful option when traveling or to supplement the rest of your lessons or classes. 



Benefits of Mixing the Modalities:
  • Variety will prevent boredom and encourage consistency
  • Reduce the effects of our sedentary lifestyles by including more mindful or healthy movement
  • It makes you feel empowered when you can adapt your practice to work for you
