Although sometimes difficult to do, just reflecting and recognizing what may be out of balance can be so impactful!... Charlotte reminds the class to breathe, stay steady, and keeping the core tight made me feel in control and allowed me to maintain balance! Stay tuned for the last Pilates update of the year next Monday!
