When did you start Pilates and what inspired you to start?
I started I February 2012 in hopes of gaining better strength and flexibility. I had a total knee replacement in Sept 2011 and was struggling with regaining strength in my pelvis and legs.
What benefits have you seen by committing to a regular Pilates practice?
The benefits I’ve gained are an increase in my overall flexibility and strength. I’ve found that I feel taller and lighter in mind and body at the end of my sessions with Cassie.
What is your favorite exercise?
My favorite exercise has to be Long Spine on the Reformer.
What would you say to someone thinking about starting Pilates?
I would tell anyone considering Pilates that I look forward to my sessions every week. It doesn’t feel like work and you will benefit in many unexpected ways.
