Welcome to my blog!<\/p>\n
I want to share my story of how I found myself in my first Pilates class.<\/p>\n
Despite an active and stereotypically outdoorsy Australian childhood (like anything involving sand, surf and sea), becoming a CPA and working in the financial sector meant I was either at a desk all day or stuck on a long-haul trip. Air travel. I thought I was doing a great job of staying in shape; I was a classic “weekend warrior”: running, going to the gym or trying a new physical activity, always going full throttle.<\/p>\n
Looking back, I was probably doing more harm than good because I wouldn’t realize I’d gone too far until I’d hurt myself in some way. At this point, I probably had the body of an average office worker – tight hip flexors, forward-curved shoulders and a backache in the making.<\/p>\n
When my second child was born by emergency C-section, an American friend insisted that Pilates “is what ALL models and celebrities did”, especially for getting back into shape after childbirth, so I thought I’d give it a try and joined her class.<\/p>\n
Predictably, I was pathetic! I couldn’t roll over, I didn’t know where my pelvic floor was, on a good day I could bend down and touch my knees, I was so inflexible. I looked around at everyone and thought it just wasn’t possible. Am I really in such a bad state?<\/p>\n
Pilates exercises seemed so easy and yet so difficult, but I was intrigued.<\/p>\n
What brought you to your first course? An injury? Pregnancy? A friend in need of company?<\/p>\n
If you’re a Pilates teacher, what’s your funniest experience with a beginner?<\/p>\n
I’d love to hear your stories from around the world!<\/p>\n
