Loved hearing your story! I had a double mastectomy and pilates was amazing to help keep my mind and body awake and alive! I was also back in studio after two weeks. Thank you for sharing.

Inspiring. Thank you, Sandy, for sharing your joy with so many. I have a client who has been a student of mine for three years and was recently diagnosed with Apraxia as well as Corticobasal Degeneration. After the initial shock of her diagnosis wore off, her attitude was “I just need to keep moving.” Thankfully, she has a great team of doctors who uniformly agree Pilates is probably the best thing that she can be doing. I think the exercises you offer us here would be so applicable to keeping her moving. It’s pretty incredible; her body “should be” deteriorating per her diagnosis, yet she continues to get stronger and more “in control” of her body. We are not blind to what the future holds for her but we are grateful that we can keep her moving and staying strong in the moment. Thank you for sharing your journey and both encouraging and inspiring others.

Holly,
Your comment touched me deeply. Thank you. It is clear that your work with your client is important and gratifying, and I am pleased that these exercises are valuable to your work together. You are teaching the basic goal of Pilates – movement, using the exercises and equipment that Joe Pilates created. Great work. Very inspiring.

Tears! That was so helpful and touching, not to mention a good workout for me (having had no surgeries or issues). I have a client going through intense cancer treatments right now with surgery happening in the near future. I look forward to sharing this with her. Thank you!!

Hi Sandy,
Was not hoping to find something as detailed and touching as this video. Thank you for sharing your experience as I have also found peace with my own diagnosis and balance with the Pilates method. I have done my own rehab and after 4 reconstructive surges find that I am lucky to have implemented the method for over ten years which kept me optimistic in moving within my body’s range om motion through each step. Looking forward to implementing this series to my clients for Pre-Post Op.
Best regards Sandra-

Hi ewapilates, Thanks for your feedback. It is natural for you to feel anxious and panicked about the topic of cancer because so many people have suffered from this disease. But I urge you to transform these feelings into peacefulness and hope.
I, with the support of wonderful family, friends, and fine health care specialists from many disciplines, have used cancer to personalize and improve the way I care for myself. What a precious gift. Having cancer has also deepened my understanding of the importance of Pilates, and I am thankful to Pilatesology for helping me to spread the good word!
So much of cancer prevention is changing unconscious lifestyle habits and thinking that work against optimal good health. Yes, I am healthy and alive, and taking better care of myself than I ever have. It may be hard to believe, but it is empowering. I never knew what strength I had until I faced cancer, twice. This has been a quiet and personal journey for me until now. My goal in sharing is to gain your help in caring for the many men and women who will need you in their recoveries.

Dixon, thank you! I am so happy you found it informative. I have so much to say about what I have learned in my own experience and through working with others recovering from cancer. It can be challenging to break it down.
