Multiple Sclerosis and Pilates

Have you tried pilates for your multiple sclerosis and mobility? Today I am starting a class that will be once a week and I can't wait. I have done pilates before but I stopped the class early as I had some limitations brought on by my multiple sclerosis. I have even done reformer classes that really irritated my legs causing me more stiffness for quite some time afterward.

However, this pilates is different. My friend who has multiple sclerosis is teaching the class. She is doing this in conjunction with the National Multiple Sclerosis Society. While she was being certified for pilates, she worked with the instructor on necessary modifications for people who have limited movement. Is that great or what?

I am also going to do this in addition to a pilates workout CD at home. I believe I will get similar focus on modifications on a CD as well as not feel so awkward since I may not be able to finish in a big group that is not so multiple sclerosis friendly (as in a regular class at a gym with an instructor who does recognize the limitations of someone who has multiple sclerosis). Make sense?
