Most of the time when I'm with this lovely lot we are not scrubbed up with make up on, we are usually in our workout gear, hair tied up and we are bending and stretching in all sorts of shapes on the mat.
They trust me with their bodies to get them moving better. Finding them a deeper level of connection throughout the body and a more efficient way to move that builds strength and control and a mind body connection.
Pilates Mat classes is what brings us together each week but it's so much more than that. It's making new friendships and supporting each other when life throws a curve ball. It's sharing jokes, troubles, stresses and feelings.
A knowing glance and a friendly smile and listening to each other. Each week we help each other through the hour of torture some might say that I inflict on them as they move their body on the mat. I always tell them it good for them 🤣 I sometimes forget to count too 🤣
Yes Pilates can be a serious business but it's also a great way to bring people together and in that hour uplift people's moods and spirit.
I feel I am so lucky to do this job my history of teaching dance and then deviating into the fitness world teaching group classes of Zumba, Kettles, seated mobility classes and now Pilates is just wonderful I meet so many wonderful people.
Great to have a social and a chat in an even more relaxed setting.
Big thanks to Anne at Brew&tattoo for the wonderful cocktails 🍸 thank you ladies for coming we will have to do another get together soon. X
