Why I never fit the mold & why that matters for you!

Hello Reader,

You know, I’ve always been a little bit on the fringe. Growing up, my friends would definitely describe me as the “weird one.”

When I was first learning to teach movement, I knew I needed a special kind of teacher. I didn’t fit the mold of what Pilates teachers looked like back then (20 years ago). I didn't really care about my lineage back to Joseph Pilates. I loved nuance and detail but wasn’t interested in perfection. I was a yogini who found spirituality no matter what the modality was. And my movement experience was eclectic.

I was lucky, I had excellent teachers who guided me and also embraced my desire for both simplicity and expansion.

That experience shaped how I teach today. Movement, to me, is not about rules, rigidity, or sculpting yourself into someone else’s idea of “fit.” It’s about body wisdom. It’s about how you feel, not how you look.

In fact, the signs your practice is working often have nothing to do with visible results. Think…

  • You catch yourself breathing more deeply during the day.
  • Your back doesn’t ache after sitting at your desk.
  • You feel calmer after class than before it.
  • You carry your groceries with less effort.
  • You stop judging how you move and start enjoying it.

That’s body wisdom.

💡 If you’ve been waiting for the “perfect time” to start, consider this your nudge. The Beginner Pilates Series is your invitation to leave behind perfection and meet yourself where you are. We start next week!

And if Pilates isn't your jam, stay tuned- there's new opportunities coming your way!

Until next time, take very good care.

With heart,
Meg
