More About Pilates
What is my Pilates story?
I did not come to Pilates injured, like so many have. I also did not come to Pilates from the dance world, like so many others. I found Pilates as a former athlete and a young mother, searching for a way to reconnect to my body. I wanted to feel strong again. Fit. Healthy. Energized. Happy. Motivated. I wanted something I could do that helped me achieve all that in a short amount of time as my days were focused on my son and his needs.
Who can do Pilates?
Everyone and anyone can do Pilates! Teaching Pilates to a multitude of body types, short, tall, wide, light, heavy, inflexible, bendy, old, young, injured, athletic… is a continuous learning journey that I take each time I step into the Pilates studio. Each client is important to me. Each body that is in front of me matters. Regardless who you are: a prominent athlete or an at-home mom or dad, I am here to help Pilates guide you achieve your goals. No matter how large or small!
How is Pilates ideal for athletes?
The Pilates Method is the ideal form of cross-training for all levels of athlete. The teenage-athlete, the weekend warrior, the advanced-age athlete and even or especially the Olympian. Pilates as a form of cross-training contributes to enhanced athletic performance, helps to prevent injury through balanced muscle development and speeds recovery after competitions or athletic pursuits. It can take any athletic endeavor to another level. Pilates can make your sport feel easier!
Thank you for allowing me to take this journey with you.
~LaBriece Ochsner, founder of LB Pilates
