About Tatum
What do you feel is the most unique quality of Pilates as a mindful movement?
Pilates requires a high level of concentration and body awareness. These skills are some of the important components that make up mindfulness.
Currently, what is your favorite Pilates exercise, on any apparatus?
Currently, my favorite exercise is footwork on the reformer.
What tickles you most about teaching Pilates?
What excites me most about teaching Pilates is the ability to share practices and exercises that can improve people’s pain management, range of motion and overall quality of life. I love that Pilates looks at the overall health of the individual, and does not reduce someone to just their outside appearance.
