Pilates hurts my neck, is this normal?

Question by spaceypointe88: Pilates hurts my neck, is this normal?
I really want to start doing yoga and pilates again; I've tried it in the past with certified professionals overseeing the class and every time my neck hurts. The positions require the neck to be held off the ground and that always causes my neck muscles to hurt - is this normal? Is it supposed to feel this way in the beginning or am I not a good candidate for these types of exercise?

Best answer:
well it depends on the position you are doing them in, maybe you are doing them wrong. You should try to relax your neck when you're doing them.
