When life gets busy, it’s easy to let your Pilates practice fall to the bottom of your to-do list. Between work, family, and all the moving parts of daily life, it can feel impossible to carve out time for yourself. But that one hour on the reformer might be the very thing keeping you grounded. Here’s why now, even in the chaos, is not the time to pause your Pilates practice.
It might feel like it is. Life is crazy. The kids are in activities. Your work is busier than ever. You’re caring for an elderly parent.
But it’s because of these reasons that you can’t let go of the thing that brings you joy, fills your cup, and keeps you grounded. Pilates isn’t just a workout, it’s your time to reset, breathe, and reconnect with yourself.
You deserve to do something for you, even when your schedule is full. In fact, I’d argue that you especially need it when your schedule is at its fullest.
You need to keep at least one hour a week dedicated to your body, your mental health, and your nervous system. That hour on the reformer helps you manage stress, boost energy, and maintain a sense of balance.
With that consistent time for yourself, you’ll be better equipped to handle everything life is currently throwing your way. You’ll be kinder. You’ll be more patient. You’ll be more resilient to stress.
And with just one Pilates class a week, you’ll maintain your strength, mobility, and flexibility so when your life opens up again and you can take two or three classes per week, you won’t have to start over.
Now is not the time to stop. It may be the time to slow down, but you can keep one hour per week for yourself. I know you can.
Your schedule may be full, but so is your capacity to care for yourself. That one hour of Pilates isn’t taking time away, it’s giving you the energy to show up fully for everything else.
Start small. Start Messy. Just start. Join us at Orofino Wellness and see how one class a week can change everything.
