I have always disliked sports in general, until I tried Pilates. Doing Pilates helps me to accept my body, strive to make it healthier and  be mindful as I go about my daily activities. Pilates is so fascinating and so beneficial to my overall health that I decided to dive deeper and get certified. First I got my BASI Mat Certification in 2019,  then I passed my Comprehensive Centralized Testing in 2024. 

 

I have just started teaching Pilates when the pandemic hit. Involuntary sedentary lifestyle and a fall started my long struggle through lower back and shoulder pain. Thankfully, I got so much better after going through physiotherapy and going back to my Pilates routine.

 

My own long journey towards recovery helps me appreciate the value of freedom to move as we got older. It enables me to empathize with my clients' pain, and definitely motivates me to learn so I can be a better Pilates teacher for them.

 

I love reading and listening to music and inspiring podcasts during my free time. When I'm not teaching, I try to make time for self practice and pursue my Pilates study, especially on how to maintain our well-being as we all age, so that we can continue to enjoy a meaningful and fulfilling life.
