I wasn\u2019t feeling so challenged with my yoga at the time, which I\u2019d been practicing for ten years. Pilates wasn\u2019t that big in Hong Kong then and although I didn\u2019t love it at the first studio I found, I then came upon Flex at the Wong Chuk Hang studio, which had a really good vibe.<\/p>\n<p>What drew me was that as I\u2019m already quite flexible, having been a gymnast and practicing yoga for so many years, Pilates gave me new ways to stretch. It has brought my flexibility up to another level.<\/p>\n<p>I love the strength training in terms of engaging the core \u2013 you\u2019re building and toning muscle but barely realizing it. I love the moves that require acrobatics and a lot of flexibility, like hanging from something but legs pointing in different directions.<\/p>\n<p>I also like that to get the best results you don\u2019t have to do the highest amount of reps. It\u2019s more efficient to be precise. We do a few movements eight times, for example, and you want to die afterwards.<\/p>\n<p>And the \u2018hundreds\u2019! I\u2019ve actually learned to enjoy them and come to enjoy the physical and mental challenge. Holding your core in a V-shape and pumping your arms 100 times, for example, was really difficult and I couldn\u2019t do all 100 at first. Then I managed but it was incredibly difficult. Now I know I can do them. Pain is temporary.<\/p>\n<p><strong>YOUR BODY AWARENESS NOW?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>My posture and body awareness were already quite good when I started. During my first assessment when the instructor told me to adjust how I was practicing, I got it immediately. But even so, it has been really helpful for my postural alignment and spinal awareness. When I don\u2019t practice for a while I feel twisted and as if I\u2019m not standing tall.<\/p>\n<p><strong>BEST BENFIT FORM THE PRACTICE?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I think Pilates has helped me perform better. The added body awareness makes me more aware of how I move on stage. For example, when you\u2019re told to walk stage right to left, looking at the conductor and singing to the audience, sometimes putting one foot in front of the other isn\u2019t the easiest of tasks. But now I\u2019m more aware of how I walk and can move into character far more easily.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em>Flex offers private and semi-private Pilates classes for one, two or three students, following an initial assessment.
