If you’re new to Pilates, you might be realizing that there are a few things you didn’t know you could or couldn’t do.
For example, there might be a balance sequence where you discover how easy it is to stand on one leg and do an overhead reach. But balance on the other leg? Forget it.
Or attention might be drawn to how one shoulder tends to be slightly higher when you stand. Or maybe rotation is an easy movement to do to one side, but not to the other.
Everyone begins with different levels of awareness and self-knowledge. But starting to learn what you can and cannot do (yet!) plays into your workout’s progression.
