Level 2
Level 2 workouts will start to challenge your mind-body connection more.
What does that even mean? Well, Pilates is a qualitative practice as opposed to a quantitative practice. In other words, it's not only about what you can do, for how long, and how much. It's more about HOW you do it.
For instance: laying on your back and lifting your legs off the ground is one thing, but the challenge in Pilates is doing so while keeping the rest of your body still.
In Level 2, you will be challenged with performing a few tasks at once, and you will also be physically challenged with more dynamic movements and a fluid tempo. Enjoy the flow state!
