As a Pilates teacher there are a few things I don’t care about in class — but I know people might feel self-conscious about them.
I don’t care if your midsection creates friendly folds when you curl — that’s just what bellies do when we bend forward.
I don’t mind if your breathing isn't on cue. Just keep breathing — in, out, sideways, whatever flows for you.
Don’t overthink it.
I won't ask if you joined because your friend dragged you here. You showed up — that’s the hardest part. Whether you’re here for the moves, the mood, the socials, it counts.
Nervous laughter mid-plank? Love it. Laughter counts as core work too. I will giggle with you through the hard bits — we are in this together.
Rolling over feels like wrestling a fridge? Fab - your core is switching on. Sometimes the “simple” moves are sneaky.
And I definitely don’t care if your flow looks more like "grit and grunt" than graceful fluidity — it’s real, it’s movement, and it’s yours.
So next time you catch yourself worrying about how you look, what you sound like, or whether you’re “doing it right,” remember: you’re already doing something wonderful just by being there.
