How often do you recommend a Pilates workout?
With any form of exercise, consistency is key. In the beginning, your body is learning a lot of new information, and your mind/body connection is being established. The optimal recommendation is 2-3 times per week; however, once a week on a very regular basis can also be beneficial, providing you are doing some other exercise during the week.
"In 10 sessions you will feel a difference; in 20 sessions you will see a difference, and in 30 sessions you will have a whole new body."
- Joseph Pilates
Joe Pilates based his work on three principles: Breath, whole-body health and whole-body commitment; with the whole-body incompassing mind, body and spirit.

Breath
