Dylan P

" The workshop has made me aware of over cuing my clients. I also found the internal and external focus of attention interesting and that the internal focus can cause tension and the external uses less energy. It seems that Pilates is a lot of internal focus. I am looking forward to applying this principle in my sessions. "
