How do you know when pilates is starting to work for you? I'm wondering out loud because I have no idea if I'm more flexible or not. Pilates and yoga go hand in hand. I still haven't even gotten used to the exercises from pilates after about a month or so of the class...I still haven't gotten used to a lot of the poses in yoga even though I have been going to yoga for over a year now.
