As a teacher, running a Pilates studio, with clients and classes everyday, one might assume that it is an easy piece of cake to exercise everyday. Actually, that would be a wrong assumption. It takes work, planning, discipline and scheduling to move your body every day. Sometimes it’s easier said than done.
But when we do set aside the time for ourselves as teachers – with or without the camera on – it’s a freeing, opening, exhilarating experience that allows us to let go and feel alive in our own work and practice. Taking a dose of our own medicine, so to speak.
That’s exactly what I was doing in the video below, for #PilatesMakesYouMove for all of us. Teachers are also students of Pilates; the work and the practice is essential for all bodies….. and the takeaway is, “Get up, move and do something that is good to free and open all the tight, stuck parts of your mind and body.” Pilates movement can keep you moving freely and regularly.
