The principles of Pilates are Strength, Stretch, Control, Focus, Breath and Flow.
*Strength - We remain strong in the sight of unforeseen circumstances
*Stretch - Hey life throws us curve balls so lets stay flexible
*Control - We can not control what happens around us but we can control how we react to it
*Focus - If we focus on what we can do instead of what we can not do we continue to move forward
*Breath - Breathe deeply and find the joy in one small thing each day
*Flow - You can not beat a river into submission - you have to surrender to its flow and use its power as your own

*Grandma would have loved this, so I had to share. Thank you Swan💞

This is totally something Mr. Pilates would have done. Read his book Return to Life.
