Pilates helps by re-aligning the spine and therefore you are able to maintain better posture.
Sleep Better
Today, more and more people are requesting their doctors to prescribe pills so that they can sleep better. Why not just choose a healthy lifestyle instead that allows you to sleep well, without the support of harmful drugs.
