Hello Reader,​
​
I want to tell you a story about a moment from the other day with one of my students.

We were moving along, doing an exercise we’ve done a zillion times, when all of a sudden there was a fissure. Something cracked open, and my student stopped, tears in her eyes.

"I don’t know what’s happening," she said. "I don’t know why I’m crying."

✨ By the way — this happens all the time. ✨

If you’ve ever cried in a movement class, you are not alone. I’ve been witness to it since my very first days of teaching.

To me, these moments are really special.

It means something deep is ready to move. We’re not forcing it. We’re not digging for it. We’re allowing it to come.

🕊️ This is a place for pausing.

In these moments, I can feel myself shift into deep resonance, regulation, and stillness.

It’s not about fixing or pushing through.​
It’s not about unearthing.​
It’s about inviting and allowing.

What wants to be shared, witnessed, tended?
What feels safe?
What wants to crawl back into hiding?
​It’s all okay here.

My student recalled a memory of an old horseback riding injury and a place where trust had been broken— something from so long ago she had almost forgotten. She didn’t know why it was surfacing now.

I asked what she wanted to do with it. Was there a movement, a breath, an image she wanted to share?

She said, “It’s passed. Feeling it, sharing it, that was all I needed today.”

So we tried the exercise again.

She laughed. “It feels easier somehow,” she said.
​A little less holding? I asked.
​Yes, a little freer, she said.

💜 I didn’t always have the skills to navigate these moments and it certainly wasn’t taught in any Pilates training I ever did.

But along the way, I dove into nervous system health, integrative somatic trauma therapy, and mind-body coaching.

Now, in moments like these, I feel deep gratitude to be present, to hold space, and to offer care.

So whether you’re invested in aligning your body, mind, soul, or the trifecta — I’m here to guide and support.

And until next time, take very good care.
​
With heart,
Meg

​P.S. There is still space in my Beginner Pilates series this September if you’re looking for 6 weeks of committed action.
