Introduction: As an Arizona-based photographer always on the lookout for new experiences, I recently found myself intrigued by the idea of trying Pilates. Not only was I seeking a fresh workout regimen to invigorate my routine, but I also wanted something gentle on my back, unlike some of my previous experiences with yoga. Little did I know, this decision would lead to a transformative journey of physical and mental rejuvenation.
