If you’ve been following along, you know that we’ve been spotlighting our Pilates Teacher Trainees! It’s been such a joy to help y’all get to know these incredible individuals!
Today we’re featuring Tammie! Here’s what she said about her Pilates teaching journey:
“First things first: I love Pilates!!! It’s by far the best thing I’ve ever done for myself and the gift that keeps on giving. I started Pilates in January of 2022. I saw a picture of a friend of mine doing an inversion on the Cadillac, and I was mesmerized. I thought, “I want to do that!” I started taking classes and loved it from the very beginning.”
Q: What elements of Pilates do you find the most interesting/attractive/challenging?
A: My interest and excitement have only grown with time. I am a dancer and have danced my whole life. For many dancers, Pilates is a natural addition. Pilates is similar to dance in many ways – there’s fluidity of movement, choreography, control, and mindfulness that helps with stress relief, flexibility, strength, and balance. IMHO, it’s the closest thing there is to a fountain of youth. The funny thing is that it’s also super challenging. On the outside, it can look like you are barely moving, and yet, you might be shaking with effort and using your entire body. Crazy!!
Q: As you embark on your Pilates teaching journey, what are you excited about? What do you want your future clients to know about working with you?
A: My Pilates teaching journey has been wonderful. I started instructor training for Pilates because I wanted to know everything I could about it, and I have gotten so much more out of it than I thought possible. I’m excited to delve deeper and deeper into this work for my clients and for myself. I want my future clients to know I am all in. I believe in the power of the work and the transformations that are inevitable if you stick with it, and I am here to help my clients reach their goals!
