Marie Law Pilates

Marie Law Pilates Pilates is a series of exercises developed & taught by Joseph Pilates. The aim of the method is to rebalance the muscles & recruit deep postural muscles.

Having always been an active person participating over the years in rowing, hiking, skiing and running I’ve always been appreciative of my physical fitness and maintaining it. While working in Norway as a Project Manager in the Oil Industry (my original career) I hurt my back for a 2nd time and it was diagnosed as a 2nd herniated/slipped disc, the 1st herniation had never been officially identifie

d. Through my Chiropractor I was directed to Pilates for rehabilitation and to strengthen my back muscles. That was around 2010 in Stavanger where I found a fantastic studio with both mat and reformer classes. At this point I didn’t really know much about Pilates and had never encountered a reformer ‘machine’ before! Through Pilates I quickly noticed an improvement in my back health and very soon had ditched my gym membership and was doing 3, sometimes 4 Pilates classes per week. This allowed me to continue with the other outdoor pursuits I love, which especially in Norway are an important part of life. I also managed to fit in a ski season working as a Chalet Girl (albeit a mature one!) in the French Alps to coincide with my 40th Birthday and then one more ski season for good measure before returning to Aberdeen in 2013. Wanting to continue with my Pilates ‘habit’ on my return to Aberdeen I decided that along with attending classes I would like to become an instructor myself. Having achieved my certification in 2015 I’m excited to be starting to teach some classes in Aberdeen and at http://www.pilatesdundee.co.uk Although I initially came to Pilates for rehab and to allow me to continue with outdoor pursuits I have also found it to be a great stress reliever and would promote Pilates for both reasons.

Feels like the right time to share this historical document 🥰
In 1988 I sailed in The Tall Ships race as part of my DofE gold award.

I was only 16, met the rest of the crew in Newcastle, ferry to Esbjerg, train (including boat train) to Copenhagen where we joined the ship. STS Sir Winston Churchill. After a day or two of ‘learning the ropes’ we sailed to Malmö in Sweden and then on to Helsinki where we left the ship.

It remains one of the best experiences/adventures I’ve had in my life and I’ve been lucky enough to have quite a few adventures since! Must look for some more classic photos- dodgy haircut ahoy 🤣

Can’t wait to visit the Tall Ships in Aberdeen at the weekend.

which has just arrived in Aberdeen was the ‘boys’ ship and Winston Churchill for the girls.

It’s the Inverness 5K today, I’m not quite ready for it, just need another 2 more weeks on the couch to 5K plan!! However I’m running again and enjoying it and 🤞 so far injury free.
My run this morning got me thinking about previous runs and I found this photo from 2005 ❤️
It was a 10K (in Stavanger), I was running well and went on to do more 10Ks and a few 1/2 marathons. At that point I didn’t know I’d be moving to Norway in 2006 and live there for 6 years 🇳🇴

I’m saying it here - there will be no 1/2 marathons but I could be tempted into 10k again … but first let’s get to 5K 😅

And now to put pilates into practice with some post run stretching 😘
