I got acquainted with pilates in 2000 and started to practise the pilates exercises in Turkey. The quick and effective results I accomplished with my participants were far different from those I reached through my former exercise methods. The participants were likely to talk about the feeling of lightness in their bodies, the comfort in their movements which facilitate their daily lives and the mental comfort they reached rather than the new look they got in a very short period of time. It did not take long for me to understand that pilates was an irrevocable exercising method.
