The Next Journey

I'm starting therapeutic or restorative Pilates to strengthen myself (in addition to twice weekly PT still), going to my first one-on-one appointment yesterday.  The woman (coach?  teacher?  I'm not sure what she would be) was supportive, gentle, encouraging, slow, personable (we talked kids and partners; yep, she's "family").  I practiced simple things--standing, lifting my leg, even just breathing.  But it was so much work that I'm still achy today.  And I've got a long way to go, even though I've come so far, but I'm sure it's what I need to do next.
