Pilates Beginner? What you Need to Know and How to Start

Listen "Pilates Beginner? What you Need to Know and How to Start"

Episode Synopsis

Welcome back to Well with Felicia! After a little hiatus (hello, Pilates reformer teacher training), we’re diving into a topic close to my core—literally. Pilates!
In this episode, I break down the different types of Pilates:
Mat vs. Reformer
Classical vs. Contemporary
Fitness Pilates vs. the traditional method
I’ll share my personal journey—how Pilates helped me recover from injury, why I temporarily abandoned it (big mistake), and why I’m back on the reformer for life. We’ll cover the benefits, the risks, and how Pilates fits into a well-rounded fitness routine.
Whether you’re a Pilates newbie or a seasoned pro, this episode will help you decide which style is best for your body, your goals, and your lifestyle.
 
Topics Covered:
• Mat vs. Reformer Pilates
• Classical vs. Contemporary vs. Fitness Pilates
• Why Pilates helps prevent injury
• Risks of overstretching and how to avoid them
• How to get started (safely!)
