Six years ago, Tanya walked into Beyond Move ā just before the world turned upside down with COVID. š¤
She stayed through lockdowns, online sessions, every shift and change she was with us.
She came to me after a knee replacement, and the other one while she was with us. Doctors said she shouldnāt kneel. But through Pilates, physio and osteopathy with careful progression, and a lot of trust ā she did. Better than expected. Thatās what this work is about. Not ignoring medical advice, but gently expanding what people believe is possible for their body.
She is a superwoman. She did the work quietly and with consistency. Never heard her moaning, but I am sure she had times when she thought; us teachers are with those ideas are ridiculous š
She connected me with one of the best osteopaths I know, who became my friend and part of Beyond Move .
Yesterday, a new chapter started for her. We will miss you, Tanya. And thank you also for what you taught me š§”
