One of my Favourite teachers @the_pilates_journal One of my Favourite teachers @the_pilates_journal eXpO in Sydney this weekend said that Pilates came to her at a time in her life when things were a bit rocky, I felt emotions rise as I thought back to when I was introduced to the method, I was totally broken, broken body from a career in snowboarding on crutches & a broken heart as-well, unresolved issues. However what was a first time on a reformer w Ness @vanessavettepilates soon became my medicine to get me back on track walking again & comfortable to continue sports & my work. Soon I decided to train to become a teacher w @polestarpilatesnz & @mfpilates as my guide/mentor as well as many others. 
Fast forward I still teach Pilates it’s now 18 years since that first time introduced to Pilates, I now am diploma level certified & love continuing my education. 
This weekend being immersed with so many other passionate teachers & amazing speakers was incredible, so much to digest. 

Pilates with Rhythm & flow will help you arrive in a ‘flow state’ which I liken to riding a great wave, taking a good line on the mountain. The synergies with our body mind & spirit, can all be found with a good pilates practise. 

I genuinely love teaching pilates, and I love sharing this method w so many people I teach & help. It was so awesome to chat to other teachers at the eXpO & especially Ness & Keely from Gisborne NZ. Thanks so much @the_pilates_journal for a fantastic weekend.

Getting inspo from @johngannontraining 8 week chal Getting inspo from @johngannontraining 8 week challenge - this exercise is in our program which is very similar to the traditional exercise Snake in the repertoire, the challenge is on the ground, but here I use a light spring for assistance & resistance to control the trunk & challenge the obliques 🤪 do each side 4-6 times, you will feel soooooo good & go sloooooooow.
