I’ve been teaching Pilates for at least 15 years. I’ve taught hundreds (probably more) of women, men and teenagers.
It’s worth remembering that your practice (and my teaching) changes depending on -
💤 sleep
👵🏻 age
🤕 injury
🤧 illness
⚡️ energy levels
😫 stress levels
🔄 menstruation cycle
❄️ the temperature
🙋🏼 the people stood in front of me
And about a dozen other things.
Can you guarantee you’ve eaten the same food, had the same sleep, done the same life/day at work/argument with your partner, had the same cold on the same day, worn the same amount of clothing…as the person on the mat next to you? Of course you can’t which is why everyone in class should always be doing a slightly different workout based on my suggestions at the front.
I don’t care if you do 10% of my class. I do care that you turn up, try your best and enjoy yourself.
As I age - my classes change - they aren’t easier, harder, more complex or simpler- they are just a reflection of my life and experiences. Your practice should be the same, it’s completely normal. Nothing ever stays the same - even if essentially nothing ever changes.
Thanks for all your wonderful support on this journey ❤️
