Hi First name / friend,
 
Hope you’re having a wonderful week! Let’s kick off this edition with a little myth-busting.
 
❓ Pilates Q&A: Should you always engage your core?
 
You’ve probably heard the phrase “engage your core” so many times, it’s basically a reflex at this point.
But here’s the thing… Do you really need to engage it 100% of the time?
 
Spoiler alert: nope.
In fact, constantly gripping can actually limit your mobility and make your core less functional.
 
This blog post was born from your questions on Instagram—and I loved writing it.
