Slow Pilates
Slower doesn't always mean easier.
In fact, slowing an exercise down can sometimes make it feel much more challenging.
When you move quickly, momentum can help carry you through part of a movement. Slow Pilates asks you to stay in control for longer and gives you more time to notice what's happening.
Can you keep the movement smooth? Can you control both directions? Can you stay connected to the muscles doing the work rather than rushing to the finish?
Sometimes changing the pace is all it takes to make a familiar exercise feel completely different.
Next time you're moving, try slowing it down and see what you notice.
