"Because of its unique, gentle stretching and improvement in range of motion, I think Pilates is extremely well suited to patients with fibromyalgia and myofascial pain syndromes. I have seen benefits in my own patients who have tried it."

"I've been teaching yoga for several years, and after taking Pilates, I feel an even deeper connection to my body. With the help of the Allegro Reformer, I've improved my alignment in yoga poses, and this helps me be a better teacher. Pilates is a great complement to my yoga practice, and I highly recommend it."
