| Develop yourself from the inside out with Pilates. |
Why did I change careers from Finance to Pilates? It’s
something I’m often asked. The simplest answer is, ‘To help people feel good’.
You might have a friend who raves about their Pilates class, or have heard how
fantastic it is to help with back ache etc, but will have simply have put it to
the back of your mind. I admit that I did the same…numerous times! I had been
recommended Pilates by fellow runners, riders and mothers, but had always been
too busy, and quite happy with my exercise routine to try anything new, thank
you very much.
After a suggestion from a medical professional I began
private sessions. Once able to understand the exercises and my body, I moved on
from there to group classes and enjoyed the camaraderie that came with
regularly attending a welcoming studio. Eventually I became aware that I wasn’t
simply improving my physicality, I was improving in all aspects of my life. I
was being taught to use my breath to help rein in my emotions. My stress levels
fell as tension that had built up in muscles was released through gradual
conditioning. My concentration also benefited…you can’t autopilot your way
through a Pilates class no matter if it’s your first or fiftieth!
After experiencing these changes to mind and body, I wanted
to learn more, study more and teach more. I wanted to pass on the happiness
torch…As Joseph Pilates said, ‘Physical Fitness is the first requisite of
Happiness.
