Love having Carol in our small-group Pilates sessions šŸ¤

Sheā€™s been coming for years and really stuck at it.

Thereā€™s a big difference between accepting that your body is changing and accepting that you canā€™t do things anymore.

Carolā€™s goal is so specific.

She doesnā€™t want to ā€œdodder aboutā€ šŸ˜‚

She wants to walk at pace, travel, climb the steps and keep doing the things she enjoys well into retirement.

And sheā€™s no longer worried about losing her mobility.

Thatā€™s a pretty good reason to keep showing up.

As a Pilates teacher I thought I had it all worked out šŸ˜ ā€¦.but

I feel ashamed to admit that, as someone who felt really proud of how easily my body had coped through pregnancy, still working up to 9 months, I thought that I would ā€˜bounce backā€™ into teaching Pilates in no time at all.

I looked around at the people whoā€™d had children and, in a flippant way, thought they made it look harder than the reality actually was.

I did lack huge empathy.

But what did happen took me by surprise because I really wasnā€™t coping.

My body was leaking from every or***ce. I didnā€™t feel like just my own anymore. Living for two people was more demanding and unpredictable than I ever anticipated.

I looked at myself in the mirror. Even looking at my hand in front of me, it was unrecognisable. This felt terrifying.

I missed the person that was a little nervous, yet excited to have a baby.

I was spiralling downhill faster than I could get my head around. It wasnā€™t obvious to me, but to others around me it was.

I had postnatal depression.

Being out of tune with my body and my emotions felt like a huge loss of self and control.

I needed to build again, build differently, because the landscape had changed completely.

I stopped expecting that I could go back to being a person without a baby.

It wasnā€™t just about the body going back.

Experience has taught me so much. I understand the changes and shifts that happen in people, physically and emotionally.

When people come to Pilates, thereā€™s a lot of nuance. Itā€™s not just about the exercise.

They might be looking for a route to filling up the tank.

They might be coming because theyā€™ve lost touch with their bodies. Perhaps theyā€™ve been through things that have changed them forever.

I understand that transitions are not straightforward.

When I look at someone in the Pilates studio, in the room, Iā€™m not just working with the body.

Iā€™m aware of everything else that is going on in that personā€™s life.

Some come and go. Some stay.

Sometimes Pilates is exactly what youā€™re looking for. Sometimes it isnā€™t, or perhaps itā€™s just not the right time.

And thatā€™s fine and dandy.

After 26 years of teaching, I find it fascinating to see who stays, who surprises me and who finds their way back later šŸ§”
