I am eating, living, and dreaming Pilates. Is that even possible? I already spent a lot of time with Pilates before, but now that I have entered additional training, I spend even more. I want to take the 100-hour test out in four weeks, but this means I am trying to fit in 25 hours per week of practicing, observing, doing, and teaching the method. (I do have a part time job) It's a good thing I love this crazy Joseph Pilates guy and his work. My first week is officially over: 21 hours done. Here are my top three side effects:
1. I'm dreaming about Pilates. Seriously... I dream that I am teaching past instructors and they are giving me feedback. The ironic thing is that I already know all the feedback... after all, I am the one dreaming. It's weird.
2. I am sitting taller at my desk. High on my sitbones.... or ischium as they are technically called.
3. I caught myself pulling my abs in and up as I pressed the clutch down while driving. (I was trying to keep my hips still as I pressed my foot away.) It's seriously almost just like the exercise "pumping" on the chair.
This is normal right? :)
Until next time...
Happy Pilates!
