Member Spotlight: Daina’s Pilates Journey
My philosophy is… ‘Pilates Will Change Your Life if You Let It’
In today’s Pilatesology Member Spotlight, learn how Pilates has changed Daina’s life:
Next month I will celebrate turning 70 and no one is more surprised than me to describe myself as a Pilates enthusiast. My working years were spent as a legal secretary and then a custom dressmaker/tailor. In my free time I enjoy the needle arts. My life is shared with an extraordinarily supportive husband and a crazy Jack Russell terrier mix dog who rescued me and walks me daily.
My Pilates life started much the same as others. A reoccurring shoulder injury had me looking for an option beyond physical therapy. One of the receptionists at the neighborhood yoga studio suggested I try the Pilates mat classes.
Pilates wasn’t any easier than yoga and I found myself on the mat questioning what it would mean if I quit. I didn’t like the answer, so I kept going.
Over time I found my way to a proper Pilates studio. The first time I touched the roll down bar, I fell in love with Pilates. The elegance of the transitions and the control and precision of the movements were compelling.
Pilatesology Member, Daina
Twelve-plus years later, Pilates is still very much part of my life and in many ways nothing like I imagined. Pilatesology paired with a personal studio in the making is now the norm. I have a Gratz tower, spine corrector and magic circles with an eye toward several additions.
The Pilatesology ‘My Workout Plan’ feature keeps me on track. It allows me to create a plan meeting my goals with the equipment and time I have. It couldn’t be easier than using the link in an email to get my workout started. The exposure to world-class instructors that in no way I would otherwise have the opportunity to experience is impressive.
Pilatesology is rich with support for those of us who find Pilates a meaningful part of our lives. The more I click around the more I find.
Pilates has changed the direction of my life. It leaves me feeling confident and optimistic as well as strong and fit. It is without doubt the most powerful thing I’ve ever done.
