At Easter, one of my lovely longstanding clients messaged me from hospital. Emergency spinal surgery. Home the same weekend.
Before she was discharged, the physio went through her recovery exercises with her โ and every single one was something weโd already done in class, or a slightly less ambitious version. The physio was a former Pilates teacher herself, and told my client she was delighted to have a Pilates student to work with. ๐
โStarting Pilates classes with you was absolutely one of the best decisions of my life.โ
A few weeks on and sheโs walking her dog for a full hour a day, going a little farther every day, and will be back on her mat next month.
It doesnโt matter if youโre brand new or youโve been coming for years โ every session is building something. Strength, resilience, a body thatโs ready for whatever life throws at it.
Thatโs why I do this. ๐ค
