More than three years ago I couldn't get out of bed some days, do to a messed up back. I was real scared. A friend told me that I should try Pilates. I was willing to try anything...drugs didn't really help and I didn't want to become dependant on medication. I made an appt. for a private session and I started noticing changes within a short time. I did semi private sessions with Kyla and I'd found my teacher. With her gentle and knowing way she carefully worked me to the point were I could join group classes and then to mat classes. Now, I've graduated from beginner classes to intermediate mat classes. I'm the most fit I've been in my adult life and I've lost 70 lbs. not all due to Pilates but definitely a big part of my weigh loss success.
