Happy International Pilates Day! đ§âš
Today is a celebration of movement, but for me, itâs also a celebration of resilience.
My journey with Pilates didnât start smoothly. A few years ago, I was training at a big reformer franchise and ended up with a back injury that sidelined me for a long time. I stepped away entirely until October 2024, when I had a wake-up call: I realized I was starting to have trouble simply balancing on one foot.
I knew I needed to return to the reformer, but I had to do it the right way. I sought out private lessons to focus on true form, and thatâs when I found the incredible Liz McHugh (). Itâs been 1.5 years of consistent work, and I am honestly amazed at how much my body has changed. I feel like Iâm aging backwards.
The absolute best part? Sharing the progress with friends! Iâve even managed to get in on the fun. Thereâs nothing like the energy of a shared session to keep you motivated.
Huge thank you to Liz for being such a guiding force in my recovery and growth. If youâve been hesitant to try Pilates because of a past injury, this is your sign: find the right instructor who truly sees you. It makes all the difference!
