Never underestimate the power of community. On F Never underestimate the power of community. 

On Friday, I had the amazing opportunity to spend the day with my friend and role model @t3fitt. Teresa is the embodiment of a strong woman, and I can’t even tell you how cool it was to teach her in my studio and have her train me in my backyard. 

When I was struggling with a tough decision earlier this year, this woman looked me in the eye- over Zoom, but it totally counts- and told me, “If someone wants to rain on your parade over and over, it’s time for the parade to change routes.” She told my then-terrified self that yes, I COULD do it. 

And she was right. She encouraged me and cheered me on through that “route change,” and of course I was thrilled when she decided to trek to Nashville. It was a full circle moment to get to show her my studio, and it’s been a while since I felt as strong (or laughed as hard) as when she coached me through a workout… PS, she’s also fused, and I can’t tell you how cool it is to be coached by someone who so deeply GETS what my body has been through. 

Everyone needs a Teresa in their life. A person who sees you where you are, sees where you could be, and shows up for you as you close the gap between the two. 

If these two scoliosis warriors can find community from hundreds of miles away, what’s stopping you from doing the same? Find your safe space and your supportive people who will encourage you to learn, grow, and try new things— you deserve it.

Hey! Remember me, that Pilates lady that popped up Hey! Remember me, that Pilates lady that popped up in your feed from time to time? 

Yeah, it’s been a while. 

Instagram has taken a backseat to life, and if I’m really honest, my personal movement practice has also taken a backseat recently. 

But going into the holidays, I’ve decided it’s time to change the movement practice bit (and maybe the IG bit too, since here I am again!). 

And you know what? Even after a (lengthier than I care to admit) step back, my personal movement practice is still here for me to return to. Anytime I want. Today. Tomorrow. The next day. Movement is an open door, an opportunity that’s always ready and waiting. 

Maybe you, like me, have fallen away from a habit or routine, and you’ve told yourself, “Ehh, I’ll wait until the new year to get back into it.” 

Well my friend, as we head into a time of year that is challenging and chaotic for many, I would argue that there’s no time like the present to reprioritize your self care. Think about it. 

Now if you’ll excuse me, I need to go and practice what I preach 😜
It took me years, but...
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✨... yesterday, I finally fulfilled a promise I made to myself.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🏋️Several years back, I was preparing to pursue personal training as a career path. I could not have been more excited about it, and I was days away from starting the training program when my circumstances changed. At the time, it made more sense to start Pilates training instead. But I promised myself I would come back and earn my personal training certification later because it was something I cared deeply about.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⏸It's been years since I put that pursuit on pause, but WOW did it feel good to do something I'd promised myself I would. 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🎖What promises have you made to yourself? 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🌱That you'd get up early and walk one morning this week?
🌱That you'd reach out to a friend or therapist for support in the midst of a difficult time in your personal life?
🌱That you'd take the stairs instead of the elevator when you got to the office?
🌱That you'd put down your phone after dinner and pick up a book instead?
🌱That you'd finally make that one appointment you've been putting off for forever?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🕰No matter how long it takes you, KEEP the promises you make to yourself. You are WORTH IT.
👀 What do you see? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 👀 What do you see? 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⚙️A big hunk of metal? A bunch of springs? A ladder? 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I’ll tell you what I see:
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🛏 A big, sturdy surface to teach a client how to get out of bed before her upcoming surgery.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⚖️A spot to challenge a client’s balance with a secure place to hold on until he feels confident enough to get in and out of the floor with his grandkids. 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
❤️ A place to settle in and chat face-to-face with a client when her body struggles feel like too much to handle on her own.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✍️ Most people see a tidy office, a revenue stream, a way to make a living. And those things are there, too, don’t get me wrong. 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
➡️But when I look at this view, I see people. I see their resilient souls and their hard-won battles of past and future. I see the people who already grace this space, and I dream about the ones who have yet to do so. 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🎁 I got into Pilates to learn how to take care of my own body. But as I’ve put a few years onto my teaching track record, it’s become so clear to me that the very best gift of Pilates is the opportunity to help someone else take care of theirs. 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I am so overwhelmed with gratitude for you… my people.
Well, I wanted to remind you of this way earlier i Well, I wanted to remind you of this way earlier in the day, but alas, Instagram clearly had different plans 🤣

🤸🏻‍♀️Anyway, group class is ON tomorrow afternoon! If you can’t make it live, sign up anyway and I’ll send you a link to watch it whenever you want.
