Real people do amazing work on themselves every day. Sometimes because they are pushed by me to find the depth of their own strength – from the inside out. Sometimes because they are self-motivated to go deeper within themselves and for themselves.
I love the process and our mutual participation in it. It is the heart of the work that creates change.
It is what I work for to pull out of every person I have the pleasure of touching and teaching.
It is what I see in these few amazing people. Each and every one of them.
One of the most impressive changes comes from the mother of twins that has changed her life, movements and body in such a transformative way, she is almost not recognizable! In less than twelve months, with regular 2X weekly Pilates Mat and 1X weekly TRX class sessions, cardio training, healthy eating and as she says, “a really supportive husband,” Katerina has shed 50+ pounds and found the full depth of her powerhouse.
This is her, a year ago, October 2013, just as she started Beginner Mat classes and that’s her getting a little “hang time” with the TRX Super Bridge (above) and showing a lot of grace, control and a gleeful grin!
Real work. Really amazing and utterly impressive.
