Key Thoughts:

  • Whether you're sitting or you're standing, we all have jobs or lifestyle factors that we're doing repeated movements. Barbi Burris (7:23) 

     

  • I want to go and not have to think about it. The truth of the matter is, I'm still thinking, and that's what Pilates and you have taught me is that I'm not going to make you think Michele in this moment about the movement, but I want you to be reconnected to your body, I want you to think about your body. Michele (15:23) 

     

  • In order to get to where you want to go, you have to be able to change in the moment, what you're doing to meet that angle. And they change as we get older because our bodies change. It's that awareness factor. And I do teach that and I call it ABCs. Awareness before change. It is that connecting brain and body and being aware so that you can get to that profit line that you need, so that you can do more of what you love. Barbi Burris (17:17) 

     

  • Awareness of what's happening around us, awareness of how we feel, awareness of our team, just that awareness. And then gives us such information and input to make the next decision. Michele (29:51)
