[vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/1″][vc_column_text]I am a Pilates Teacher. As such, l am proud to serve as a conduit for healing, love of life and movement.\u00a0 Last week, affirmed that energy and flow between myself, the work of Pilates and the myriad of sisters in my circle.\u00a0 At the mid-week point, I felt washed over in the power of connections.\u00a0 By the close of the week, I was glowing.<\/p>\n

From top to bottom of the week, powerful women found each other, acknowledged each other and supported each other.\u00a0 We were all sisters helping sisters.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”2\/3″][vc_column_text]What if this happened regularly?\u00a0 What would happen if every week flowed like this powerful week did?<\/p>\n

Monday<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Regina, 62, returns from a long business trip that kept her away from the studio for at least six weeks.\u00a0 The fervor and joy in her life, showed in her face and her energy and she flowed easily and sweetly through her movements.<\/p>\n

I have never taken a picture of her while working out previously, yet her glee and grace demanded it be documented this particular day.\u00a0 Her family enjoyed it and rallied in support and love of her on Instagram<\/a>.\u00a0 Her first post!\u00a0 It made her famous with her family.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/3″][vc_single_image media=”79119″ media_lightbox=”yes” media_width_use_pixel=”yes” media_ratio=”three-four” shadow=”yes” shadow_weight=”std” media_width_pixel=”400″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/1″][vc_column_text]Right before Regina walked into the studio, a Google Review popped in from Yeworkoha, one of my Tuesday morning clients.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/3″][vc_single_image media=”79115″ media_lightbox=”yes” media_width_percent=”100″ shadow=”yes” shadow_weight=”std”][vc_column_text][\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”2\/3″][vc_custom_heading]<\/p>\n

“This class has changed my life. With a once a week coaching, I have been able to lift myself from the stress and physical agony I had.”

Tuesday<\/h2>\n

Yeworkoha, 74 year old grandmother and businesswoman, comments on her joy in the healing of her body and touched me almost to tears as she spoke of the peace she has found not only in the hour of exercise but in the friendship and relationship that has evolved between us in the process.\u00a0 She loves the laughter she has while we work.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/1″][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

\"\"Wednesday<\/h3>\n

Wednesday morning I met with Vennie, 47, mother and entrepreneur, a former student\u00a0 that I haven’t heard from in more than eight years!\u00a0 She sent an email the day prior with an urgent request to get back in the studio as she threw her back out.\u00a0 A standing client had previously cancelled a morning slot giving us the chance to re-connect and get Vennie back to movement.<\/p>\n

Thursday<\/h3>\n

Priceless hours of laughter, memories, more laughter and love with my mother’s 74 yr sister and her daughters; my favorite cousins.\u00a0 This was my soul healing time.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”2\/3″][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

Friday<\/h3>\n

The week was a buildup to the meetup of five of my #PilatesSisters to workout and solidify our community preceding the third annual #BlackGirlPilates meet and workshop.<\/p>\n

Both events were so powerful in and of themselves that frankly, I am left feeling that only a separate post will justify what emerged from the day.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I will come back to this in a deeper way<\/h2>\n
