Pilates Myths Debunked

Sip of the Week: If you are looking to laugh, learn and walk away inspired this conversation is for you! Alissa- aka the Amy Poehler of Vaginas- is busting ALL the Pilates myths running rampant on social media these days. She dishes the tea on her own Pilates background, why she is Pilates obsessed, and how she is helping folks get comfortable in their bodies and show up as their best selves not only during Pilates, but doing any movement- period. Hurry and listen- this is one you do not want to miss. 

Let It Brew: There are so many misconceptions about Pilates—let’s clear a few up! Myth #1: Pilates is just stretching. While flexibility is a perk, Pilates is a full-body strength workout that challenges stability, control, and endurance. Myth #2: You need fancy equipment. Mat Pilates alone is incredibly effective, using just your body weight for resistance. Myth #3: Pilates is only for dancers or the ultra-fit. Nope! Pilates is for every body—it meets you where you are and grows with you.
